Hi,
Hoping someone can help, this has been painful to use…it started off so great too!
My localdeck was picked up by BLE auto discover and had it joined to HA via ESP and all keys were working great…
So, I managed to adopt it via ESPHome Builder (instructions could be clearer about how this works), I ran the update and then the issues began… I lost sight of the localdeck and it refused to come back online. After many attempts I finally was able to load firmware via USB on my computer via Chrome and the deck actually started to come back online… but it only seems to work when I have the most basic of setup. If I have 2 buttons linked to single light bulbs, that works and I can follow the state and brightness of 2 Hue bulbs. As soon as I enable “follow colour” the localdeck won’t come back online and needs to be connected with USB and reflashed.
So, I disabled “follow colour” and any other of those options that didn’t fit. I’ve only kept “Toggle Entity” on for Switches and even turned that off when triggering scripts. I have a combination of lights. switch. and some scripts being triggered. The Switches and Lights have been tested with the following options on and off… when I just have a couple of lights, I can turn on all of these except Colour but even if I map every button with just toggle entity for the switches and lights and turn off all options for scripts… I’m still faced with the same dead deck…
Toggle Entity
Follow State (On/Off)
Follow Brightness
Follow Color
After a successful reflash over USB, I allow the device to boot up fully and watch for the successful boot message on the log viewer via web.esphome.io. At this stage the device is unresponsive in HA. Sometimes, if I have all the “Follow” options turned off, the buttons will work but HA shows every button as unavailable. If I have any “Follow” option enable, the device becomes completely unresponsive.
I saw mention of using the right PSU so after a successful reflash over USB, waiting for it to successfully boot up, I’m unplugging, moving the Localdeck back to the other room where the deck is to be used, plug in the official PSU, I can see the boot lights show and then… nothing. It just doesn’t want to work…
What am I doing wrong here? Because it takes a while to compile and then test, I’m finding it hard to pinpoint what is causing it to fall over… I wasn’t expecting these options to break the build… I wasn’t expecting any of these issues at all… I’ve spent a good 9 hours now going back and forth and back and forth, I’m about to give up and see about sending this back… anyone know what I’m doing wrong?
