I have many smart plugs which I have flashed with Tasmota firmware and recently noticed that if the wifi goes off in the house (I unplugged the router whilst decorating) that when the router / wifi is turned back on the smart plugs do a very quick power cycle. This has caused a big problem as my sons PS4 was plugged into one (for energy monitoring only) which he was using at the time and we ended up having to do a full factory reset!!
I looked through lots of settings via TasmoAdmin and tried changing a few but it still happens. Is this something I will have to live with and so will have to remove the plugs from sensitive devices (TV’s, games consoles etc) or can I do something about it
If you flash ESPhome instead you can disable the loss of wifi reboot timeout:
Though even that has issues:
reboot_timeout ( Optional , time): The amount of time to wait before rebooting when no WiFi connection exists. Can be disabled by setting this to
0s, but note that the low level IP stack currently seems to have issues with WiFi where a full reboot is required to get the interface back working. Defaults to15min.
This means you would have to reboot all your switches manually (after a controlled shut-down of sensitive devices).
Thanks for the suggestion but other than this 1 issue I’m really happy with tasmota
