Had to remove Captive_portal, Web_server and Improv from ESPHome

Hello Team,
Just like the great video of the Bearded Tinker I also had to remove Web_server, Captive_portal and everything Improv to get a stable working localdeck.
Like him removed all 3 at once, and have not gone back to try re-adding individual components to see where the instability (non-responsive, reboots, issues flashing) comes from.
I also changed the power_save_mode to none. (I also have Unifi as WiFi, but not sure that is causing the issues).

Any comments or feedback on this?

Thanks,

Wim,

Hello @wlaarhov

Thanks for the feedback!

The captive portal and improv parts are only needed for connecting the LocalDeck to your network. So, if you’re doing it another way, there is no harm at all in removing them.

Regarding using Unifi, we are aware of some issues with ESPHome and Unifi. Please see below:

Let me know if your issues persist! 🙂
