Error connecting

[durosity]

I'm fairly new to this ESP32 stuff but I think I'm starting to get the hang of it.

I'm having a problem getting Indigo to connect to the ESP32. I have previously been able to get it to connect when I experimented with it last year, but now I'm finally getting something up and running it's not working.

This particular ESP32 device is configured for measuring if the bed is occupied or not using thin film resistance sensors and is configured thusly:

Code: Select all

# --- ANALOG PRESSURE SENSORS ---
sensor:
  - platform: adc
    pin: GPIO36
    name: "Master Bedroom Bed Occupancy Sensor Voltage"
    id: MBBOSV
    update_interval: 1s
    attenuation: 12db

  - platform: adc
    pin: GPIO39
    name: "Master Bedroom Clothes Basket Sensor Voltage"
    id: MBCBSV
    update_interval: 1s
    attenuation: 12db

binary_sensor:
  - platform: template
    name: "Master Bedroom Bed Occupancy Sensor"
    device_class: occupancy
    lambda: |-
      if (id(MBBOSV).state > 3.0) {
        return true;
      } else {
        return false;
      }
    filters:
      - delayed_on: 0s
      - delayed_off: 0s

  - platform: template
    name: "Master Bedroom Clothes Basket Sensor"
    device_class: occupancy
    lambda: |-
      if (id(MBCBSV).state > 3.0) {
        return true;
      } else {
        return false;
      }
    filters:
      - delayed_on: 0s
      - delayed_off: 0s

Home Assistant sees these sensors and updates correctly. However when I try to get this plugin to connect It goes through a state of Starting Up then after a while goes to offline. I've enabled debug logging for startup:

In the ESPHome log I'm getting:

Code: Select all

[19:05:58.257][D][api:160]: Accept 10.0.1.10
[19:05:58.267][D][api.connection:1383]: Indigo Master Bedroom Weight Measure (10.0.1.10) connected

Then a moment later:

Code: Select all

[19:06:28.266][W][api.connection:1880]: Indigo Master Bedroom Weight Measure (10.0.1.10): Reading failed CONNECTION_CLOSED errno=128

I've confirmed it's the right IP address and port (and if it weren't I wouldn't expect the log entries in ESPHome), but I'm now rather perpexed as to what's causing it and what can be done to connect to get this data into Indigo. Any ideas?

Thats no good.

Seems like you have done all the right things.

Should be very straight forward - IP address and connects and stays connected.

I suspect has been some breaking library changes (at ESPHome) which your newer firmware devices are having issues with - likely I will need to update plugin for… I’ll have a look… shouldn’t be long..

Yay for basic troubleshooting! And thank you for looking into it, no rush of course

[GlennNZ]

Okay.

Try 0.1.25
Release there now, and have updated Plugin Store (fairly happy will be fine….)

There were quite a few library breaking changes, and resulting ESPHome firmware incompatibilities. Biggest one being unique_id no longer exists … more like non-existent Id…

Should all be backwards compatible now in this version, with older firmware devices and have a few which have tested.

You will need to delete your not setup plugin device, or recreate child devices (button in Edit). Any already set up device shouldn’t notice any change.

That seems to be working perfectly, thank you!
