Device stops sending data

[wrightsonm]

Every few months or so, I notice that my device stops sending data.
If I power cycle the device, it still does not send any data.
I can connect and view the logs over wireless and I will get some logs such as these:

but I won't get:

but I do not see sensor activity log lines such as these:

[22:58:09][D][sensor:127]: 'Phase A Voltage': Sending state 240.42334 V with 1 decimals of accuracy
[22:58:09][D][sensor:127]: 'Phase A Frequency': Sending state 50.04453 Hz with 1 decimals of accuracy
[22:58:09][D][sensor:127]: 'Phase A Power': Sending state 399.40366 W with 1 decimals of accuracy

The only solution I have found is to reflash over the air from esphome with the install button.

Any ideas what could be causing the device to lock up even after a power cycle?

[flaviut]

I haven't heard of this issue before, this is an unusual fault.

1. What procedure do you follow for a power cycle?
2. What's your config?

I would debug by increasing the global log level, while being careful not to log too much & slow down the system. I'm not at all confident of being able to resolve this, even with that information. It may be a faulty ESP32.

If this was my system, under my personal circumstances, I'd probably buy a new one or maybe just reset it every few months.

Once the device has stopped working, i turn off the breaker that feeds power to the emporia, wait a few seconds, and then turn the breaker back on.

when viewing the logs via esphome web ui, no sensor data. (until i reinstall the firmware)

here is my config

whilst i am not sure, the issue could be also linked to when the machine running homeassistant restarts.
hass is running on docker on a debian vm, on a proxmox server.

i have tried rebooting this server from time to time, and it hasn't caused a loss of sensor data, so still unsure.

[wrightsonm]

i have just reproduced the issue by cycling the power to the board (when the device was previously working)

when viewing wireless logs, i gets stuck here:

i have tried a soft reboot approach using this yaml and homeassistant. the device works fine after a soft reboot (though the device has to be operational for the soft reboot to work!)

button:

Adding this configuration appears to solve the problem:

esphome:
  name: emporia-vue
  friendly_name: vue2

  on_boot:
    priority: 500
    then:
    - delay: 5s

5s is probably 10x more time than is required. My current assumption is there is some additional noise on the power supply on power up that is causing an issue with the i2c initialisation. Adding a small time delay avoids the noise issue.
