Sonoff / Tasmota started regularly showing "Unavailable" on Home Assistant

If you go to dev-tools and set the filter to status you will see the status sensor for each device. You can add that sensor to an entities card in Lovelace and if you tap on it you will see all the status info in a nice format.

If you tap the sensor in dev-tools you will also see the info like this (not as nice format though)

Btw if that is typical it explains your problem. 42% sucks

Thanks. So the wifi signal is not good at that spot. The bulb is installed at outside of the front door light fixture. The other bulb at another side of the front door is showing (60%, -70 dBm). These two bulbs are about 4-5 feet apart. I guess the light fixture has some impact on the wifi signal.

Yeah my worst is around 56% and it shows with multiple WLAN and MQTT connections. I would think yours would as well. That particular device for me is in a steel case (my house alarm). The garage one is also a pretty poor signal.

I added a couple of repeaters in my house so all my wifi is pretty solid now.

I think I have been having a similar problem.

Issue: Tasmota Light/Fan switch appears as Unavailable in Home Assistant quite often (about 5 minutes per hour)

Setup:

Treatlife DS03 Light Fan Switch Flashed with the Tasmota 9.2.0 (following these directions).
Wired such that it has power and ground, but light wire and fan wire are caped off (i.e. it controls the light and fan only via WiFi/MQTT
Home Assistant discovers the switch via the Tasmota (beta) integration.
I have a fan/Light in the Office attached to Home Assistant using a sonoff ifan03 using this as my guide
Finally I have them linked via Node Red (I am sure tihs is WAY overcomplicated for the node Red - but I am still new to all this

When I look at the tasmota console, I noticed that the switch appeared to reset around the same time it went unavailable in Home Assistant (First time noticing this)

Update: Just had another unavailable state for the tasmota switch in home assistant. I think it has to do with the switch itself

Any help on what might be causing this?

btilly · December 28, 2020, 10:21pm

I am seeing

Client DVES_7F64AC has exceeded timeout, disconnecting.

and sometimes

Socket error on client DVES_7F64AC, disconnecting.

in my MQTT broker log.

smoysauce · January 4, 2021, 8:02pm

I’m having this exact same issue and same messages. It’s driving me nuts. I even completely nuked my network and set it back up thinking something got mis-configured, but it still occurs. It happens to my WP3s, WP6s, S31s as well as my Sonoff RF and Zigbee bridges (all on 9.2). They will go unavailable/available and then suddenly, they all go offline requiring me to restart HA. I can’t seem to pin down what the issue is. My next step may be completely resetting all (13) of the devices to see if that does anything.

Also, not sure if it has anything to do with anything, but I notice in my Unifi controller, the devices will show up for a bit then disappear; occasionally they will appear without an IP even though they are assigned an fixed IP…again, not sure that is relevant.

smoysauce · January 7, 2021, 12:12am

Was able to figure out and fix my outlets randomly dropping off/restarting. It seemed to happen every 7ish hours and all my tasmota devices would go unavailable and checking the logs, it appeared they were restarting. I did some searching and came across this post: https://www.reddit.com/r/homeautomation/comments/9j8wye/sonoff_basic_and_s31_occasionally_droppping_off/e6pl4vk?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3

Apparently, if you have TasmoAdmin running all the time that can cause some issues which causes the devices to reboot. I disabled TasmoAdmin, and boom, rock solid reliability. Hopefully this helps someone else.

feoZA · February 14, 2021, 12:39pm

I’m having the same issue with my Tasmota devices, they go unavailable about every 30 mins or so and come back after a few seconds.

I’ve got a few Sonoff T1 switches and they have this issue but my Sonoff SVs that I’ve got connected to the garage door motor and the front gate motor are fine. The T1s I just updated to 9.2.0 hoping it’ll fix the issue but no go. The SV units are on older firmware, I think 6.3.0 and 6.5.0 respectively.

feoZA · February 15, 2021, 7:33pm

I’ve tried a Reset 6 and also the latest development build and neither seem to help with the issue of my T1 switches becoming unavailable and rebooting regularly.

Eeeeeediot · September 12, 2021, 6:41pm

having the same issue as described here but still no luck

bobby.kaucic · October 9, 2021, 9:07am

Having the exact same problem
Lots of tasmota devices (sonoff basic) on unifi network.
They just become non-responsive and greyed out for no reason what so ever
All on tasmota 9.5 firmware

Rebooting the access point does the trick but it’s he ap is working fine as all other devices connected work fine

henry8866 · October 10, 2021, 5:46pm

similar here not sure if there is a fix.

helio58 · October 18, 2021, 7:00am

Having this problem too.
Using tasmota 8.5.0 and 8.1.0
Have to restart the AP (Asus router with merlin).

wagnojunior · March 11, 2022, 1:21am

Hi peeps.

I have the same issue with Home Assistant OS core-2022.2.9 and Tasmota 11.0.0

Any fix for this issue?

solomos · December 19, 2023, 8:45pm
