CZ-TAW1 crashed after the original firmware update

[omenukas]

The CZ-TAW1 module was connected to the Aquarea Smart Cloud and stopped working sometime in the fall/winter. The "Status" indicator started flashing red. After rebooting the module it works for a while and then breaks again. I decided to try sending the heat pump data to the Mqtt server. I performed a firmware rewrite using the following link: https://www.mediafire.com/file/c2ac2ls56fhzxbz/GoHeishaMon1.1.191z166.zip/file Everything started working and I was already happy, but only half an hour. And then the data to mqtt stopped going. After rebooting the module, it's the same again - it works for a while and then stops again. The situation is the same as with the original firmware. Do you have any ideas on how to solve this problem?

Addition: I have found that when I stop receiving mqtt messages from the heat pump, I can still send setting changes to the heat pump and they actually change on the unit.

I'm using firmware from the link: https://www.mediafire.com/file/c2ac2ls56fhzxbz/GoHeishaMon1.1.191z166.zip/file

I've the same problems like @omenukas

I tried the procedure to access ssh ( to gather any logs) :

panasonic_heat_pump/commands/OSCommand umount /overlay panasonic_heat_pump/commands/OSCommand jffs2reset -y panasonic_heat_pump/commands/OSCommand reboot

and after rebooting your software stops working, only helps me flash the device again .

@omenukas I have the same problem with the original firmware, it works for about a day. After a reboot, it is working again for a while. Have not tried GoHeishaMon yet. Do you have any solution to solve this problem? Can this be a HW problem? My adapter is brand new, doing this since day 1.

I solved the problem by buying this module: https://www.tindie.com/products/thehognl/heishamon-communication-pcb/ It works perfectly, without any problems, and I will throw the CZ-TAW1 in the trash 😀 Trying to solve the problem, neither changing the module, nor changing the pump motherboard (the changes were made by Panasonic representatives themselves), nor changing the Internet did not help.

@dimaregabriele Try this perfect tool: https://github.com/edterbak/NodeRed_Heishamon_control

I first tried with the version downloaded in Aug 2023 (v1.0.166 I guess Jan 12 2021 /usr/bin/GoHeishaMon_MIPSUP) without success so I SSH the module and ran manually GoHeishaMon_MIPSUP :

I found this post https://github.com/lsochanowski/GoHeishaMon/issues/27#issuecomment-1374619385 and tried again but

GoHeishaMon (version 1.1.191 ) crashes randomly

I wrote a short script to run GHM and check when it crashes. Actually after few minutes to several hours.

Start GoHeishaMon

Latest version GoHeishaMon (version 1.0.192 ) also crashes randomly

I have no idea where to look to avoid these crashes.
