Home Assistant / MQTT: AMSreader current hour used resets to 0 more than one time every hour.

[offeloffen]

Describe the bug
AMSreader current hour used resets to 0 more than one time every hour.

To Reproduce
All the time.

Expected behavior
Should reset to 0 every hour.
Even If it should be interrupt in the Internet connection, it should go back to the accumulated value when reconnect? 🤔
(The accumulation works as expected in the WEB user interface)

Sounds like your Pow-U reboots frequently. Is power saving set to "Maximum" in you config? Also, "Allow 802.11b modes" should be disabled.

I have the same issue as @offeloffen , power saving is set to "Maximum", testing now by disabling the "Allow 802.11b modes".

[offeloffen]

Thank you for quick answer!

Power saving was in "Minimum" and "Allow 802.11b modes" was enabled.
I changed those two now and it seems like it fixed the problem.

I'll wait one more day before closing issue.

Disabling "Allow 802.11b modes" has cured reboot issues for many users.

[offeloffen]

So. After a day this is A LOT better, but still reboots some times...

Wonder why is still happends.. :/

I will try to set the power saving to Minimum again and if it helps.

[john-arvid]

Same here, much less reboots but I have had atleast 1 the last 24 hours.

[gskjold]

Obviously something is disturbing power saving on your devices. Are you pulling JSON from the device API or running a constant ping on the device or any other network related traffic?

[john-arvid]

I agree, there must be something causing the reboots.
In my case I don't have anything set up other than mqtt, no service/device is polling the amsreader.
I'm using unifi for my wireless network, but I only have one wifi AP.
No multicast device other than some google speakers, and I don't use them often (so not much user created traffic).

[FIXED]

After I've disabled the "Allow 802.11b legacy rates" it's stable.
