Disconnects and connects regularly
Hi, I'm getting these connection based errors and cannot get any readings nor control the AC.
I have lates versions of HAOS and esphome (and latest versions of all the other components also, if that matters) installed on Raspberry Pi 4 4GB version. I have used until now the CZ-TACG1 to connect to the internet, but as we all now, it cannot be held very reliable..
ESP is regularly disconnecting/ connecting itself. Log from esphome compoinent says:

The last message of the above seems to be saying it cannot resolve the IP, but e.g. my router sees it with full signal and has given it a static IP.
My configuration is as follows:
P.S. I used the "code" option when inserting the samples, but not of much avail, I see...
What might be the problem? P.S. I inserted the the config as an image, trying to insert as a "code", it mixed up the display?
Can you connect to the ESP directly via USB? It's hard to see what's wrong with all the connection issues.
I can connect to the esp via usb, but after taking it of from the AC. Also, esp boards (btw, the one I'm using is ESP32 Devkit V1 VROOM32 30-pin version) as fas as I know, should not be powered from many sources simultaneously? Which oprobably means I would need to disconnect it from AC anyway.
BTW- I enabled the verbose logging and I'm getting

... seems that it is not communicating with the AC? I think I try to swap RX and TxD next...
No difference when swapping RX and TX. Looks like the AC does not get anything and vice versa.
I could tka it out and use USB, but I think there is not much point in it, because the situation would be different?
Hmmm... The ESP pcb + logic converter (TXS0108E, system built like in https://components101.com/modules/txs0108e-bi-directional-logic-level-converter-module , there is an example of connecting rasp to 5V system in the end ) was built on a trial board or whatever you call them, full of holes and the backside almost full of copper plating anyway :) .
Wifi ap was only few meters away. There semed to be lot of disturbance. I turned to trial pcb so that the copper side was facing ap, and the connection vastly improved. However, I cannot get a connection to AC. ESP seems to be polling AC (see above), which never responds.
I have board on the table now, what you wish me to do next?
OK. The connection problem was disturbance-based and is now solved by electro-mecahical structure change, together with the fact, that bi-directional TXS0108E unit seems to be very delicate in these kind of applications, when it needs to decide, which side of the converter is load/ driver side at changing situtations. Probably fiddling abouty with pullups and such may have worked, but I took another route.
Simplifying the structure as presented in this post:
https://github.com/DomiStyle/esphome-panasonic-ac/issues/34#issuecomment-975135342
.....solved the situation. One needs to be somewhat carefull, because this involves using 5V signals from AC to ESP's 3,3V inputs (and also feeds AC's 5V inputs with ESP's 3,3V, which seems to be enough).
Time will tell, how long ESP will last, according to this https://www.ridiculously-simple.com/2021/05/19/are-the-esp32-and-esp8266-5v-tolerant-yes-they-officially-are/ there are reasons to believe it will stand it.
However, solution is very simple and elegantish. ;)
