[fw v.1.0.0] Does not work with esp32

[akdri]

I have 3 esp32 connected to the air conditioners, until now they had worked perfectly, but since I updated and made the new modifications, the esp32 end up disconnecting.

The esp32s never come back when they are disconnected, but an esp32-c3 that I have if it manages to recover the connection is very unstable and continually restarts.

Is there a way to revert to the previous version? because right now I can't control the air

thanks

@akdri thank you for your feedback.

Yes, you can use previous versions of the component. Modify your config this way:

external_components:
  - source:
      type: git
      url: https://github.com/GrKoR/esphome_aux_ac_component
      ref: v.0.2.14
    components: [ aux_ac ]
    refresh: 0s

P.S. Please avoid publishing your passwords and encryption keys when you are providing your config.

[akdri]

Thanks for your response, GrKoR

I have gone back to the previous version and now everything works correctly again.

As I also have several esp12e

I wanted to compile esp12e with your example to see if it is stable on the esp8266 platform.

But it has exactly the same problem, esl esp8266 is able to recover but it continually restarts approximately every 12 minutes.

GrKop thanks for your work, I hope you can make the new version stable or find the problem, for now I will continue with the old version that works perfectly, with fewer parameters but works well.

In Spain, Baxi Anori air conditioners are brands of the AUX manufacturer. All of these air conditioners work with your protocol in case you want to add them to the list.

@akdri it's very strange. All my air conditioners are working with esp12e based dongles. And they work stable... I have no idea about the reason of this issue yet 🤔

In Spain, Baxi Anori air conditioners are brands of the AUX manufacturer. All of these air conditioners work with your protocol in case you want to add them to the list.

Yes, please. Send me model number of your air conditioners. I'll add them to the list of tested ones.
