Crash on D1 mini and NodeMCU during WiFi initial provisioning

thardie · August 8, 2022, 11:51pm

I’m flashing nodemcuv2-ble.

I’ve tried a D1Mini and a NodeMCU. When using the flash from website, the devices goes into reboot loop. I followed the instructions to use PlatformIO, and compile and upload with that for the NodeMCU. It starts and my phone detects the SSID. It associates, then tries to get an IP, and the devices crashes. This happens the same on the D1 mini and NodeMCU. I’ve also tried the “Erase Flash” option in PIO first.

Did you try to erase the flash before the upload ?

Also, I suppose that you want to use an ESP8266 + an HM10 by the firmware chosen (nodemcuv2-ble) ?

thardie · August 9, 2022, 1:04am

Yup, I’ve done the erase first, then the upload.

And correct, I have an HM10 I’ll be hooking up, once I can get this thing stable.

DigiH · August 9, 2022, 2:18am

Hi @thardie , would you mind trying with manual WiFi and MQTT broker credentials, circumventing the AP mode for setup, as the tight RAM might possibly be causing some issues. Is it a D1 Mini Pro you have?

For the direct manual setup add these flags to the existing nodemcuv2-ble environment

Trying that now on the NodeMCU. The D1 mini is not a pro - Does that mean it’s underspec’d and can’t do it?

wondering if it could be because there is not HM10 hooked up yet?!?

Do you have one already, or were you planing on getting one?

thardie · August 9, 2022, 3:02am

I just tried that to be sure (Hook up the HM10) and hooked it up and no change in behavior.

thardie · August 9, 2022, 3:05am

Maybe what I’m trying to do isn’t practical anyway.

The reason I’m not using an ESP32 is because the ESP32 uses the same radio to do Bluetooth and WiFi, which means for picking up BLE Beacons, you’ll miss some. I’m using this where I want to react very quickly (~ 2 seconds) to a BLE tag being near a receiver to open a door. I already have this working on a raspberry pi with code written in Python, but would love to simplify the solution.

My idea with using the ESP8266 and the HM10 is then I could have the HM10 listening for tags 100% of the time, and the ESP8266 handling the WiFi, so I wouldn’t miss any beacons.

DigiH · August 9, 2022, 3:08am

Sorry to hear that, I’m puzzled as to what might be the cause, hopefully someone else with better understanding of the exceptions can chip in.

Generally my advice for an OMG BLE gateway would be an ESP32 thought, just for the fact the an ESP8266-HM10 is limited in the available BLE devices it supports, as can be looked up here

all the (1) device are Not supported with HM10.

I totally understand your need here, and for exactly such scenarios, and also BLE contact sensors, motion sensors etc. which are time critical there is the

esp32dev-ble-cont

(BLE gateway with continuous scanning, suitable in particular for door and window BLE sensors (and all the others))

environment

thardie · August 9, 2022, 4:58am

I tried that build on an ESP32. It still misses beacons that my python based one (running on a Raspberry Pi with a USB Bluetooth receiver) picks up (I run them side-by-side).

h2zero · August 9, 2022, 5:17am

The error here is quite simply this:

Not enough ram.

For this use, I would suggest downgrading the decoder version to a less ram intensive one unless the new devices added to it need to be detected.

thardie · August 9, 2022, 6:05am

I’m confused. I’m using a device on the supported list, with a build from the standard tree. Is this device no longer supported? (NodeMCUv2)?

DigiH · August 9, 2022, 10:05am

Unfortunately it seems it has reached that stage where the NodeMCU together with the HM10 as a BLE gateway, with the more RAM intensive latest Decoder library, just recently released, has hit its feasibility limit.

As suggested above, please try with a previous version 0.5.0, or even 0.4.0 of Theengs Decoder. In platformio.ini just change the Decoder URL from

decoder = https://github.com/theengs/decoder.git#v0.6.2

to

decoder = https://github.com/theengs/decoder.git#v0.5.0

or

decoder = https://github.com/theengs/decoder.git#v0.4.0

You can see which additional devices have been added for later versions on the release page

For you beacon detection earlier versions should be fine.

DigiH · August 9, 2022, 10:28am

Have you tried adjusting the settings of that environment? Especially depending on the broadcast interval of your beacons, if you know them all, or even adjusting the beacons’ broadcast interval if you have access?

Also, are all you beacons the same type, e.g. with iBeacon protocol?

Also white-listing only the relevant beacons, again if feasible, for such an implementation would take a load off, not having to process and publish any other BLE devices around.

Just out of curiosity, do you use an rssi limit to deduct how far away the beacons are from the door? As otherwise beacons within a large radius would trigger the door constantly. And do you only apply that rssi limit after the beacon recognition has been published to MQTT. Here the MinimumRSSI flag could also be helpful for optimised distance related beacon recognition directly in OMG.

Just some ideas for how an ESP32 continuous build should still work fine for you, but as mentioned above, your ESP8266/HM10 combo with an earlier Decoder build should be the best solution for your preferred hardware.

h2zero · August 9, 2022, 12:27pm

Another option is to offload the decoder by setting '-DMQTTDecodeTopic="YOUR_TOPIC"' in your build flags.

It requires using theengs gateway setup to subscribe to the topic you provide in order to decode messages. It will work to effectively disable the decoder if you don’t need that functionality as well if you don’t have theengs gateway setup.

1technophile · August 9, 2022, 12:34pm

Unfortunately, I’m not sure that the ESP8266 + HM10 + OMG will best fit your use case.
The current HM10 implementation was more designed for reading a sensor every minute or more.

The ESP32 implementation is more optimized for continuous scanning, and by tweaking the parameters, you will have better luck in my point of view.

thardie · August 9, 2022, 6:39pm

The beacons broadcast on a 2 second interval. I’m not sure if they use the iBeacon protocol. The OpenMQTTGateway (esp32 ble continuous scanning version) does pick them up, just not at the same frequency that my python based one does. It misses more than half of them with the tag just a foot away from the ESP32.

As for triggering, yes, I use the RSSI. I currently have my python code reporting which receiver, MAC of the tag and RSSI. Then Home Assistant decides whether to send a signal to open a door. The door is a motorized doggy door, and it’s how my dog gets in and out of the house. She gets quite upset at the door if it doesn’t open in ~ 2 seconds

thardie · August 9, 2022, 6:40pm

I played around with hookup up an ethernet port to an ESP32 and got it mostly working. What’s the best way to do this with OpenMQTTGateway (since esp32 in BLE continuous mode will have no WiFi connectivity)
