Versions > 3.2.0 broken: keep loosing connection to devices

[unlucio]

Hello,
thanks for the great work as this integration worked like a charm for years, yet it's having a bit of troubled last versions:

Every release in the last ~6-to-7 months has had the unfortunate yet annoying issue of randomly loosing connection to all, or some, of my sonoff-mini (I have no other sonoff stuff in my house), and the only way to get them back is to restart the whole HA instance.

Every time I update I have to rollback to 3.2, or I have to keep restarting HA (not a good option, imho) in order to be able to use my house, which is a bit suboptimal 😅

Here are the the latest error logs from 3.4:

I'd be awesome if it'd be back to be reliable, and thus being able to safely update again.

Actually neither 3.2.0 works, I just had to downgrade to 3.1 :(

[federicosantolini]

Same issue here but I cannot downgrade to 3.1. It just fails to work

[unlucio]

Actually now I'm having the same problem with 3.1 as well.
And nothing useful in the logs: grepping for "sonoff" it only gives what I'v already posted, and it has nothing to do with this.

This is getting a bit of a pickle since I've to keep checking and restarting HA to get the lights back up, and my family is getting (understandably) very very frustrated by lights randomly not working.

Suggestions form someone of the team would be greatly appreciated.

I've been seeing something similar as well, although in my case it's a single simple Basic2 wifi switch that occasionally disconnects from the integration. In my case restarting either HA or just the integration brings it back fine.

So I made a little automation which keeps watch and does the integration restart if it goes offline.

alias: Sonoff Watchdog
description: Reload integration if the lamp entity becomes unavailable
trigger:
  - platform: state
    entity_id:
      - switch.sonoff
    to: unavailable
    for:
      hours: 0
      minutes: 0
      seconds: 10
condition: []
action:
  - service: homeassistant.reload_config_entry
    data:
      entry_id: 94d103c80c1a770eaea2f4ca69dc598f
  - service: notify.persistent_notification
    data:
      message: Sonoff Watchdog Triggered
mode: single

where the switch.sonoff is a Sonoff controlled entity (my basic2 switch in this case) and entry_id is obtained from the file /config/.storage/core.config_entries accessed via ssh into my HAOS Pi4.

Not a fix I know, but a temporary containment measure that may be of interest whilst things get looked into.

@Darren-Hill that's def a good idea for a momentary patch (and I just put it in place for ease of life).
But still I think there's a bug somewhere that unfortunately no log seems to evidence.

[thefunkygibbon]

this is great and needs to be more visible over the numerous posts on this issue.
Its a little concerning that none of the devs have piped up and commented on any of them over the few months this has been an issue.
but this is a lifesaver. I didn't know you could restart the service if it was detected unavailable, but of course that makes perfect sense! thank you so much, I can now have a nice warm office in the mornings again.
