ESP8266 failing with pm open,type:2 0

[lafleur]

The GW has been working just fine for that last few days, but when I rebooted it today, I now get the "pm open,type:2 0" from the ESP8266. When this happen, the GW stops working... Re building and loading of new code has same problem.
I have tried 3 different ESP8266

Any ideas on what is the root cause??

Thanks

@lafleur I am having almost an identical problem. Did you ever find a solution for this?

[mpp]

@lafleur I also see "pm open,type:2 0". Did you happen to install the ping pong sketch?

probably not related but I'm using an RFM69 with the ESP8266.

I am also experiencing this using Sonoff relay sketch for ESP8266, any news on how to fix it?

[mfalkvidd]

I had a similar problem with MySensors >= 2.1.0. Switching to 2.0.0 made it go away. Maybe worth trying, at least to verify if 2.1 has a problem.

The gateway rebooted every time a node sent a message.

@mfalkvidd MySensors has a dependency for ESP8266 on the ESP Arduino version, as it duplicates the startup code.
I'd suggest to try with MySensors 2.1.x and ESP8266 2.3.0 board support and fix any issues we run into.

[Matthew Ohlson de Fine]

I have tried to use 2.0 but still get the same response: pm open,type:2 0 in serial monitor. strangely I get no other serial responses, just that. Do I have to set debug on in the board settings?
I can ping the sonoff so I know it's connected. What am I missing?

[mpp]

See this remark:

@tekka said in MySensors 2.0.0 Released:

@mpp said in MySensors 2.0.0 Released:

pm open,type:2 0

This is a message emitted by the ESP8266 core, not MySensors related.

I suggest you add the following to enable debugging on the serial interface:

#define MY_DEBUG

Also tripple check your wiring, it seems to make the ESP very unstable if there's a loose/bad connection. TSM:FAIL:CNT could indicate a problem with the radio/transmission.
