Failures when reading JSON over local http

I’m getting intermittent failures with all 3 of my airgradient sensors (2 indoors, 1 outdoors). I have the sensors on my LAN, with no connection to the internet (blocked with a firewall rule). I am logging data every minute, and I’m seeing a failure every 15 minutes in the log, with intermittent periods of no errors about every 150 minutes, although this varies a bit. The sensor that is giving me the most trouble is the outdoor one. I just flashed it with the latest version (3.0.9 Release), and swapped the power supply, but I’m having the same issue.

Digging into it, this worked for a little while after I flashed it:

# curl "http://192.168.45.123/measures/current"
{"wifi":-50,"serialno":"84fce60bf7f8","rco2":739,"pm01":0,"pm02":0,"pm10":0,"pm003Count":141,"atmp":18.15,"rhum":78,"tvocIndex":104,"tvoc_raw":30240,"noxIndex":1,"nox_raw":16554,"boot":6,"ledMode":"co2","firmwareVersion":"3.0.9","fwMode":"O-1PST"}

But then I get this:

# curl "http://192.168.45.123/measures/current"
curl: (28) Failed to connect to 192.168.45.123 port 80 after 75084 ms: Couldn't connect to server

So I guess I’m reporting 2 problems, but they may be related. I can work around the intermittent failures, but the outdoor sensor just stops responding and never seems to recover until I power cycle it.

We would like to look into this. Could you please log the serial debug messages from the monitor and send us?

Here is some log data following a reboot - please let me know if you need anything else.

Thank you. We will look into it and get back.

I have been playing with this some more. I am starting to suspect my Ubiquiti Dream Router access point. I started seeing trouble in the log files for the Airgradient on May 8th. My router updated itself on May 4th to UniFi Network Application 8.1.127.

I have been rebooting it and things seem to be working well after the reboots, so this may have been a problem with my wifi network (can we get an Airgradient POE version?? :slight_smile: ). I need to let it run for a couple of weeks and see if things are any different - I will update this thread with the results. Thanks!

I forgot to report back too and our engineers also suspected some local firewall issue. We also did not hear any similar issue from anybody else.

PoE has been discussed a few times here. Just search the forum for the posts.

Awesome, thanks guys!

It’s been running for a couple of weeks and it looks like things are back to normal. Apologies for wasting your time, and thanks for checking it out.
