I get disconneted form MQTT server every few minutes.
Its a sonoff basic with 6.1.1 installed, updated from 5.12.0a via uploading a self compiled bin file.
Using #define MQTT_LIBRARY_TYPE MQTT_TASMOTAMQTT
When it looses connection it turn off (there is a light connected to it) and once it connects again it turn the light back on since the last POWER message from HomeAssistant is retained.
I already looked at the possible error codes for MQTT here:
https://github.com/arendst/Sonoff-Tasmota/wiki/MQTT-Overview#troubleshooting
but "rc8" is not found there

Here is the sonsole output from that sonoff:

This also seems to happen to one of my other devices (h803) as you can see from the log. That device is a H801 with 6.1.1 installed (also using MQTT_TASMOTAMQTT). Funny enough I have two more H801 devices with the same software installed but not having that problem...

Any help would be very nice, and if you need any more info I am happy to provide that or help however I can.

Hi, you are using esp lib v2.4.1. That library has several wifi problems. Instead use esp lib v2.3.0 or v2.4.2.

ascillato picture ascillato on 29 Aug 2018

Thanks for the tip.
Looking at this comparison, I will try using v2.4.2
I will report back once I get 6.1.1 with core 2.4.2 running

EDIT:
Should I just change this code block in the "platformio.ini" file to use the lastest?

[common] ; ************************************************************
; *** Esp8266 core for Arduino version 2.3.0
;platform = [email protected]
; *** Esp8266 core for Arduino version 2.4.0
;platform = [email protected]
; *** Esp8266 core for Arduino version 2.4.1
platform = [email protected]
; *** Esp8266 core for Arduino current version
;platform = espressif8266
nightcat91 picture nightcat91 on 29 Aug 2018

In 2.4.2 you have also 2 more options when compiling (lwIP 1.4 and lwIP 2). In my tests lwIP 1.4 was more stable, but you need to test them in order to know which one works better with your router.

ascillato picture ascillato on 29 Aug 2018

You use a old version. Here is 2.4.2 not listed.
You can use 2.3.0 this version is stable and very reliable.
Just uncomment (delete ; at the beginning of the line)

Jason2866 picture Jason2866 on 29 Aug 2018

Yes, 2.3.0 has been proved to be the more stable and recommended

ascillato picture ascillato on 29 Aug 2018

I flashed another sonoff with my version of 6.1.1 just changing the platform to latest and I got core version 2.4.1

{"StatusFWR":{"Version":"6.1.1","BuildDateTime":"2018-08-29T20:04:05","Boot":6,"Core":"2_4_1","SDK":"2.2.1(cfd48f3)"}}

But if you recommend 2.3.0 I will try that

nightcat91 picture nightcat91 on 29 Aug 2018

In case you want to try v2.4.2 use as follow:

[common] ; ************************************************************

ascillato picture ascillato on 29 Aug 2018

You need to have only one option. the rest of the platform options NEED to be with ;

if not platformio will use the last defined

Ok, I have "upgraded" the sonoff in question to core v2.3.0, I will monitor now and see if the problem is gone.
what does the error code rc8 even mean, I was not able to find that...

And are there big downsides in using 2.4.2 instead of 2.3.0, I just like the idea of not having the Krack vulnerability.? (the other bugs in 2.4.2, e.g. hue bridge emulation problem are things that I dont care about)

nightcat91 picture nightcat91 on 29 Aug 2018

Sleep doesnt work in 2.4.2.

Jason2866 picture Jason2866 on 29 Aug 2018

rc 8 == TCP_RECONNECT_DISCONNECTING

Well it seems I am down to 2.3.0 anyways because 2.4.2 does not want to compile after I added the needed code that @ascillato posted above.

Somehow I cant copy past out of the log from Atom, so here is the error, something about WPS beeing unavailable (I am using Wifi Manager as the fallback in case primary and secondary APs are not available)

But I guess I can just wait until the release where 2.4.2 (or something after that) becomes the default core.

EDIT: @meingraham thanks for the info!

nightcat91 picture nightcat91 on 29 Aug 2018

Please download it again. Your setup seems corrupted.
It does compile without errors.

Jason2866 picture Jason2866 on 29 Aug 2018

Click this, wait and try to compile again:

ascillato picture ascillato on 29 Aug 2018

Is your broker up to date? Maybe the problems comes from a old version.

Jason2866 picture Jason2866 on 29 Aug 2018

@Jason2866 @ascillato
thanks for the tips, sadly none of them helped to build with core v2.4.2
still getting the same error, I even tried downloading a fresh copy and not touching user_config.h and only making two changes to the "platformio.ini"
1) env_default = sonoff
2) platform = [email protected]

But on the bright side I did not have any MQTT reconnects or errors on the sonoff in question since it is running 6.1.1 with core v2.3.0.
So for the matter of this issue it was succesfully solved by going to core 2.3.0
Thanks a lot for your help with that.

If you dont care we can still try to get v2.4.2 working for me, but I understand if you dont want to continue this here...

nightcat91 picture nightcat91 on 29 Aug 2018

Will be better to chat directly. Please connect to Tasmota chat at: https://discord.gg/Ks2Kzd4

ascillato picture ascillato on 29 Aug 2018

@nightcat91
Glad connections works.
I have no idea left why compiling with 2.4.2 fails. Sorry

Jason2866 picture Jason2866 on 29 Aug 2018

for anyone having the same problem about core v2.4.2 not compiling with the error I posted above.
-> Download the latest dev version (for me V6.1.1.13) fixed it.
