loss sensor doesn't report value

Open Red5d opened this issue 2 years ago • 5 comments

I've configured my ping sensor like this:

sensor:
  - platform: ping
    ip_address: 8.8.8.8
    num_attempts: 15
    timeout: 60sec
    loss:
      name: Packet Loss
      id: loss
      on_value:
      then:
        - switch.turn_off: relay
        - delay: 15s
        - switch.turn_on: relay

     update_interval: 30s

However, its state only shows up as "NA" in the esphome webui, or "Unknown" in Home Assistant. I've tested with it being able to reach 8.8.8.8 and also having a firewall rule that drops ICMP from its IP address, and the logs reflect that (ping success and failure), but the sensor value doesn't change at all. Am I missing something?

please provide logs.

The only logs I get from it is this (repeated every minute) when ping is blocked:

19:20:24 | [I] | [ping:040] | no reply from 8.8.8.8

...and this when it's not blocked (every minute):

21:06:24 | [I] | [ping:035] | 64 bytes from 8.8.8.8: icmp_seq=4 ttl=58 time=19 ms

Here's my full esphome config:

there should be logs like below:

[I][ping_esp32:089]: 17 packets transmitted, 15 received, 11% packet loss, total time 3028ms avg time 68ms
[D][sensor:117]: 'Packet loss': Sending state 11.00000 % with 0 decimals of accuracy
[D][sensor:117]: 'Latency': Sending state 0.06800 s with 3 decimals of accuracy

please enable debug log, and paste "all" the logs.

Here are my logs with the "logger: debug" option set in the config:

The only debug logs I see are when I turn the relay on/off:

22:10:46 | [D] | [switch:017] | 'Sonoff Basic Relay' Turning OFF. 22:10:46 | [D] | [switch:056] | 'Sonoff Basic Relay': Sending state OFF 22:10:47 | [D] | [switch:013] | 'Sonoff Basic Relay' Turning ON. 22:10:47 | [D] | [switch:056] | 'Sonoff Basic Relay': Sending state ON

I've tried on both the "latest" and "dev" esphome versions, but still not seeing debug logs like your example there. Not sure if there's a debug setting I don't know about or an issue with esphome or something.

I can't find any logs fro "sensor" component. Try one of the examples, and make sure that the log includes messages from "sensor" component. After that, modify the config to your needs.
