I've tried over and over, ive fiddled settings, tried from BLE, from phone, it just keeps saying wrong credentials or failing. IT's the same wifi connection as other ESPHome devices. What can I do to debug this?
#Voice Assistant PE - cannot connect to wifi

Is it that fancy WiFi with 2.4 and 5 GHz together? If so, try turning off 5 GHz on the AP while connecting.
astral kiln
hrmm.. ok.. i can try that..
hrmm.. assuming it will let me.. I dunno if this ap will allow that
yeah.. I can't turn it off on this one..

you can also try connecting to your pc, flashing firmware using the web tool and this will allow you to insert wifi creds with the tool. instead of the BLE onboarding. documentation here
this may or may not help but it gives a different setup option and rules out some stuff.

and we have a FF user 😛
astral kiln
we have a "don't own a windows machine" user too.. 🙂
tender solstice
if its any consolation i believe complaints have been registered with mozilla
astral kiln

So it can see the wifi, it looks the same as the output I see on any other esphome device
but I canot connect to it
tender solstice
can you check your dhcp table and see if it actually has been able to connect at some point?
astral kiln
I did, nothing for that mac addr, assuming it's the mac on the back of the device on the sticker
i also tried updating the firmware to latest and trying again, no love
I've tried both garblednet and garblednet-newha (whic is my ha device only network)
[21:29:56][W][wifi_esp32:705]: Event: Disconnected ssid='garblednet' reason='Probe Request Unsuccessful'
this seems to be how it always ends
tender solstice
it looks like its just not liking your wifi netowrk, seperating or disabling networks so there is only 2.4 is first thought,
do you have any other networks you can test with? pehraps temp "hotspot" from phone? just something to test with?
astral kiln
I guess i can try a hotspot.. will have to see if it lets me
if I do a hotspot it will be connected to my raw internet via the phone
crystal quarry
Then it won't be able to connect to HA
astral kiln
omg, i just did it like the 20th time and it connected i think.. wth
maybe.. can't figure out if its working or not now
astral kiln
nope. it won't talk to my wifi. nothing I do will fix it. i can get it to connect to a useless phone hotspot. I have doznes of esphome devices, but this thing is a brick. what a waste of $$
astral kiln
even if i disabled 5ghz long enough to get it connected, it will never reconnect after I re-enable it, and then I'd have to reconfigure my entire network for one device
sigh
crystal quarry
That's a bummer, I hear it for the first time...
I personally have separate 2.4 network for IoT, but for those with same name it always helped to switch 5 off for connection...
astral kiln
Yeah, I don't get it. I can get all kinds of ancient devices to talk to my wifi. 8266's work just fine too.
astral kiln
Yeah. If i setup a brand new AP with only 2.4 it works.. thats.. wacky..
I wonder if I turn on 5 if it will disconnect then
Apparently I need a separate network just for this one device. Amazing.
astral kiln
It conected as ESPhome, but never launched the wizard..... i guess I have to do everything by hand?
crystal quarry
I'm curious if something like Koala satellite will work for you. If casual esp32s3 will work, then it must be hardware problem - in that case Koala software, built on PE base, shouldn't be a show-stopper...
astral kiln
i haven't tried the net esp32S3's tbh
new
mine are all older.. maybe the s3's are more fiddly
oh i see, you mean total reflash.. hrmmm
I'm trying to get wyoming running, but it won't discover the addons for piper and whisper.. sigh.
astral kiln
INFO:main:Ready
[08:08:45] INFO: Successfully send discovery information to Home Assistant.
s6-rc: info: service discovery successfully started
but then nothing in the logs for core.. and no disovery of the addon
tender solstice
but then nothing in the logs for core.. and no disovery of the addon
once the device is on home assistant on the device page you should be able to launch the voice setup if it didnt auto start
astral kiln
yeah.. had to manually deinstall and then reinstall the addons one by one to get them to show up in discovery
astral kiln
yeah, well I have a bunch of really old devices that need that...
going to try mixed and see if it breaks my whole network
astral kiln
no no not wps
crystal quarry
WPA first version?
astral kiln
yeah
crystal quarry
It shouldn't be a problem
astral kiln
I found an issue in github, someone else reported
sec
FYI, it also needed to be regressed to FW version 24.12.3 to connect to my Wifi network (reported in https://github.com/esphome/home-assistant-voice-pe/issues/327), hence the "bad feeling about this".
(from another post)
apparently regressing the fw works for him, he mentions he "fixed it locally" somehow.. not clear how
