Reboot every OTA firmware update

[vampywiz17]

Hello there,

If i update ESPhome, every time at need to try about 10-15 times that finally upload it. It restart when i upload the firmware via OTA.

Normal usage it not restart, only when i update it.

I can see it in the log:

Typical case of weak WiFi coverage, or interference (close to other network equipment/psu) in the place where you have placed the ESP.

First i think the same. But i try a lot of places and it do the same everywhere... Other ESP-s with same place update without any problem.

Bad ESP...

This may sound stupid but try rebooting your wifi router/ap. Do you run OpenWRT on it by any chance? I have this same problem and that's what helped.

[vampywiz17]

I use Unifi AP-s. it restarted a many times.

I use Unifi AP-s. it restarted a many times.

Try restarting everything and flashing as soon as possible after the restart. Every time I change configuration of any esphome device I have to do that before flashing. But it may be a different problem entirely of course...

Btw, I see your nick @vampywiz17 in a lot of places regarding doorbells and sonoff rf bridge as well - did you by any chance make ANY kinetic button work with sonoff rf bridge or any other similar device? This setup from pauln works perfectly for me, but I'd still like to know if Sonoff bridge can be made work with these kinetic buttons.
