Airgradient rebooting itself?

#81

Thanks @mascot1579 , this is interesting.

I am using the AirGradient PCB, so rewiring pins isn’t really an option (at least not without creating some frankenboard with random wires on top…). On top of that I’ve found out the hard way that the pixels I’m using aren’t happy on any pin other than RX/GPIO3.

Sounds like upgrading to ESP32 is the path of least resistance to fix the reboot issue. ESP8266 D1 mini and ESP32 C3 mini are the same cost, so assuming the C3 works (which I believe it will based on other forum posts (forum dot airgradient dot com /t/new-wemos-board/251/16 – incorrectly flagged as spam ) there isn’t much reason not to use the much more performant new hardware.

Thanks for the info. I’ve thought about removing captive_portal on mine once I have them setup, but api and ota are important for me since I use HomeAssistant and push updates regularly.

At one time I had tried removing nearly ever sensor and going with a pretty basic config and still saw them rebooting regularly, so I’m a bit at a loss overall.

I was also seeing regular reboots from the newer boards with ESP32-C3 chips soldered on, but then I disabled my 5Ghz wireless and it seemed to really help overall. That isn’t a long term solution for me, but an interesting data point.

I apologize for the necro-post, but this seems to be the most appropriate thread for this.

I am also experiencing frequent reboots on all of my AirGradient One devices that I have built from a kit. I haven’t been keeping a close track of them, but the reboots seem to be more frequent when the PM2.5 increases.

These are the ESP32-C3-MINI-1 boards. I don’t have any solutions, but hope this will catch someone’s attention who may have more knowledge and can offer some insight.

Using the stock firmware or ESPHome?

What are you seeing when it reboots?

What firmware version number are you running? You can see this from the Hardware page on the Dashboard if using the stock firmware.

Stock firmware, version 3.4.1.

When it reboots, it goes directly from the standard display page to the initial boot-up screen showing the name of the device and the Firmware version.
