Random flickering after trying to link with homeassistant

Open chaayac opened this issue 2 years ago • 3 comments

Describe the bug At seemingly random intervals, all my bulbs flicker briefly but at the same time. You can check this video for what it looks like:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1MCFcoi5i17xx9fj1xUcPSD2rzh5Z_Fdf/view?usp=sharing

The bottom 2 bulbs were the old bulbs, the top 2 were new bulbs that had not yet been linked to my meross account.

Disclaimer: I actually have no idea if the link to HA was causing this issue, only that it started occuring after linking my msl120d bulbs to homeassistant. I have since unlinked them from HA and actually shut down my HA server to be sure. I also reset the bulbs and re-linked them to my meross account and Google Home. I contacted Meross support and they sent me new bulbs to try this with, but it even happens with the new bulbs after linking to my meross account.

Your environment Hardware environment: msl120d Firmware version 2.1.2

Logs taken when the issue happened I used the sniffer tool to sniff an affected device, and these were the logs from the sniffer when the flicker occurred. Can someone help me make sense of them?

Hi @chaayac , Let me understand: do you face the flickering problem with the brand new bulbs with HA off?

albertogeniola avatar Jul 27 '22 14:07 albertogeniola

I'm getting this issue too, but I'm not sure if it's related to HA.

I got a pair of MSL120 bulbs and paired them right away to HA using this integration and the other Meross LAN integration. After a while, the bulbs would flicker slightly - it's like if the brightness went down by a few notches and then back up. I deleted this integration from HA, shut down HA, factory reset one of them (got it into the factory mode red-blue-green-whites mode, then out of it), deleted the Google Assistant integration in the Meross app, and added the bulb back in, but it still flickers.

Let me understand: do you face the flickering problem with the brand new bulbs with HA off?

I still faced the issue when I connected the bulbs to the same network that I initially configured them to connect to. Strangely, even new bulbs that I had never configured with HA started having this problem when connected to the same network.

I solved this by switching on my guest network and using that instead. I also created a new Meross account and moved everything onto there. Unfortunately I don't know which one of these 2 things actually resolved the issue, I didn't test them in isolation.
