Random reboots for ESP32-C3 UK Plug #42
Description
I’ve got 4 of the ESP32-C3 UK Plug and have flashed with the sample YAML. I then customised the YAML to turn off the features I don’t need and to enable features that I want.
Specifically, I disabled the API and WiFi timeouts to prevent unwanted reboots and added a toggle switch to flip the power off and on for 15 seconds.
The device is working fine except that it still reboots randomly throughout the day - maybe once or twice. Since the power toggles off and on when the esphome restart, this means that I can’t use the device for the desired purpose.
I’m assuming that there is some watchdog other than WiFi and API which is causing reboots. I can’t see what it might be. The only thing in the debug logs is a repeated debug message about the reactive power being negative. I’ve eliminated this by clamping the minimum valid to zero and ignoring these invalid values.
Is anybody else seeing these stability issues? Here is the generated YAML…
