rules problem

[tiger125]

Hi,

I have a pulse monitor. Nodemcu v2 is restarted every day. After that, it usually happens that the rules menu is switched off and all the devices in the device menu are disabled.

What is causing this random behavior?

Attached is the setting and the rule I use!

Anyone have an idea what's causing it?

Can you copy/paste the rules as text in the [ code ] ... [ /code ] tags (without the spaces)?

The last "on clock#time ..."
doesn't have a closing "endon"

If you experience that tasks/controllers or rules are disabled after a reboot, then ESPEasy has detected it was crashing a lot and did just try to disable items one-by-one till it successfully completes a (re)boot.

So there is something which causes the ESP to reboot which may be resolved by disable the rules.

Can you also disable the rule to reboot at 2 minutes past midnight?
If the ESP is somehow unable to get the time via NTP, then it might trigger this behavior as the system time is then starting at 00:00 when no system time is set.

I don't use the daily restart now!
However, it may be a hardware problem, because nodemcu v2 has a hard time trying to recover and starts to restart the power supply!

Now I'm using the esp32c3 supermini, but even there for some reason I sometimes lose the network connection with it. I use this for the other devices as well, and there really isn't a problem with them. If the Wi-Fi signal strength is bad, it is possible that the esp does not connect to the network!

Yep, a stable power supply is important for a stable WiFi connection.
When starting the WiFi radio, a RF calibration is performed.
The RF calibration is highly dependent on the supplied voltage.
Also RF calibration takes over 500 mA in very short peaks. So if your power supply can't keep up with these short spikes, or your wires are too thin, the actual voltage supplied will dip quite a bit and thus render the RF calibration useless.

Also make sure there is no metal near the antenna, as this affects the antenna tuning.
