Hi Admin,
so I did some tests as you suggested. Now I`m sure that problem is only when HA server is turned off. KCS firmware solved main problem but introduced new one. I re-implemented my configuration from esphome to kcs firmware/mqtt broker and this is what I figured out:
- Using KCS firmware boards are not turning outputs off when HA server is down but there is some long "lag" when turning light on/off - first what I thought about is that board is waiting for some reading/connection timeout because of unavailability of the MQTT broker and it seems this is problem because when I`m disabling MQTT in board protocols then problem disappears ! Problem is that this timeout seems to be like few seconds and it happens not once but repeatable. So I`m clicking wall button and it takes few seconds to handle request (turn light on/off).
- I also updated esphome and HA to latest versions and problem still exists for this option - all outputs turn off after some unpredictable period of time (sometimes after 1 minute sometimes after 15-30min)
I have 8 boards so I was able to perform tests on different ones.
This is my setup:
Boards inputs are connected to momentary wall switches which are turning on digital outputs. Also I have in HA one scene - in bathroom I have two groups of lamps plus separate leds. My scene is that I`m turning on leds if at least one group of lamps is turned on. Also I`m turning off leds if both groups of lamps are turned off. Board 1 is handling momentary wall buttons (inputs) and lamps (outputs). Second board is handling leds (leds do not have wall button assigned - are only handled by digital output). I`m using 12V for boards.
Please help
