I think I've bricked 2 LB PM Plugs

Chris

I have a total of 4 PM plugs 2 on Tasmota and 2 on ESPHome. I should make it clear that I have upgraded the ESPHome plugs from Tasmota some time ago.

A few weeks ago I went to move the ESPHome plugs to a new use. One plug had been in continuous use switching (typically) twice a day, the other plug had been disconnected. After restarting the plugs and then renaming them to their new function, they have both stopped working. One of them starts an AP and I connect it to my network but it contains no entities in ESPHome. The other just appears to be dead, no LEDs and pressing the button does not make any changes. Apart from branding the only other info is both say 2023-03.

Is there anything I can try to diagnose, or are these now dead?

EDIT: I’ve posted this query on ESPHome forum as well.

So it was my error, I’ve managed to mess the ESPHome configuration on BOTH devices. To make matters worse when I tried to revert back to Tasmota to give me a clean start, I managed to flash one device with a corrupted/wrong bin file. The other one is now Tasmota’d and I will ESPhome it later once I’ve stopped shouting at myself.

Note to self: READ VERY CAREFULLY ALL CHANGES BEFORE INSTALLING, THEN READ AGAIN!

Hi @Chris

This made me laugh! We’ve all been there. Easily done.

Just to confirm, is everything working now? Let me know if I can help.
