All airgradient one sensors repeatedly updating on 3.3.6 starting 09:30 GMT 29/04

We have rolled out a backend change today that lets devices that are not configured in the AG backend update. Somehow some end up in an update loop. We will revert the change temporarily and this should stop the loop.

Unfortunately this doesn’t seem to help. Devices running 3.3.6 continue to loop, now probably faster compared to before. We need to further investigate what has changed in the firmware.

Ok thanks for the update, please keep us posted here.

I have 3 I-9PSL-DE sensors. Should we downgrade to 3.2.0 ? My CO2 readings went dead this morning and have not come back. The display reads ā€œCO2: ā€”ā€

I had that happen soon after I got the sensor. A soft reboot (reboot via the same tool that does software upgrades and shows logs) didn’t resolve it. I had to fully unplug and re-plug to get the CO2 sensor working again.

In my case I had to downgrade to 3.2.0 in the dashboard and then stop prometheus polling the sensors http endpoint (to stop crashing in the middle of downgrade). So far 3.2.0 has been fine, seems like the team is still working through a few bugs.

I am also experiencing the same issue, just a few hours ago on 5/9/2025 ~10PM EST, my airgradient decided to start a firmware update automatically and has been stuck in an infinite reboot-reupdate loop for the past hour.

What is that latest info about this issue?

Both my devices (I-9PSL and O-1PP) are stuck in the update loop. What I have tried so far is only with the indoor unit as it is at my desk which is convenient, the outdoor unit is mounted outside…

I have tried reflashing with 3.3.6, on the serial console I could see the panic and it rebooting and going into the firmware update. After reflashing and erasing data the panic appears to have stopped, but it is still in the update loop.

I flashed it with 3.1.13 but the first thing it does after booting is update itself to 3.3.6.

I don’t use the dashboard, just locally get the stats into home assistant, so when I setup the wifi after flashing I select the option to not send data and not get updates, but it still does the update…

I don’t have the tooling set up to build firmware from source, so am relying on binaries of the firmware.

Issue of boot-loop started today (May 10, 2025) on my AirGradientOne.
Part of the log that seems interesting is shown below. I use it indoor, so values are not shared and I have no account (hence the 400, which was always the case).
You can see HA asking for info and from that answer (payload) you can see that firmware is already on 3.3.6

Having the same issue.

Rebooted / Re flashed and issue still exists.

Ok in offline mode.

Exactly the same situation and questions as above post from flipside…
Hesitant to turn the thing off if it’s constantly updating firmware

Thanks, that has fixed the loop in my airgradient one. Can the auto update be disabled? I am using HA integration

I had configured my airgradient one not to communicate with remote servers, which the configuration page implies would not allow for any automatic firmware updates. That seems to not have been the case (unless the Home Assistant integration will automatically update the firmware that I’m not aware of). Upon seemingly automatically updating to 3.3.6, the unit would repeatedly boot, check for firmware updates, the hw.airgradient API call would always return a new firmware (regardless of what was passed in as the current firmware version) and then the unit would flash and reboot. Wash, rinse, repeat. I’m using past-tense here because I flashed the ESPHome firmware in the meantime in order to restore functionality to the unit. I’m not thrilled that, even though I had it configured to not talk to remote servers, a bug in a remote server endpoint seems to have been able to effectively brick (I guess technically bootloop) my device.

Mine had the firmware update loop problem yesterday for something like half a day

I powered it on again after the rollback, and the display finally showed ā€œup to dateā€ instead of ā€œnew versionā€.

It’s not connected to the ā€œcloudā€ but i only use it in my local network with home assistant.

Same here. One outdoor and one indoor sensor, running FW 3.3.6. Both crashing as soon as Prometheus tries to get the metrics. Has the issue been identified?

The update loop fixed itself for my two devices. I powered them both off as it seemed a waste to constantly update. I started getting things set up to build firmware from github, but before I got through that I powered my indoor unit back on and it did not update, it remained at 3.3.6. Same for my outdoor unit.

Is there still a bug that the disableCloudConnection setting doesn’t work when set during wifi setup?

Hi @everyone,

We and other AirGradient users, identified two issues that caused the bootloop in version 3.3.6 before the server changes last night. Unfortunately, these were missed during testing. We actually had a fix ready for about a week, but delayed releasing it to ensure full stability.

The two issues are:

  1. Devices using Prometheus
    GitHub Issue #309
  2. Devices with the ā€œDisable Cloud Connectionā€ option enabled in the Wi-Fi web portal
    GitHub Issue #312

Regarding the bootloop that occurred last night: it was triggered by server-side changes related to firmware updates for monitors that are not registered on our server but still want to have automatic firmware updates features. Our team already reverted those changes.

In summary:
If you’re not using Prometheus and haven’t enabled ā€œDisable Cloud Connectionā€ in the Wi-Fi web portal, you should no longer experience any issues. For those affected by either of these two conditions, we’ve just released version 3.3.7, which addresses both problems.

This update will be available today via automatic updates and will also listed on our firmware page here.

Thank you to everyone who reported these issues—your feedback really helps us improve. We’re sorry for the inconvenience and appreciate your patience and support.

Hi Samuel,

Haven’t been able to get my AG One to update over the air automatically.

Also can’t find 3.3.7 on the firmware page, still showing 3.3.6
