    Does anyone experience the same, that a device that does not have a good connection became unavailable and have to do a hard reset each time that happens? Is there any way to make a hard reset like once a day so if that happens the device will reset alone and don't have to take it out and hard reset it?

    I haven't heard about it, but you could use a ping watchdog mechanism. I think we've had an example somewhere.

    Search for "ping watchdog" on that page:

    PS: Here are OpenBeken docs:

    Is there any way to share uptime with Home Assistant to see if any device rebooted?

    Yes, you can check our docs:
    https://github.com/openshwprojects/OpenBK7231T_App/blob/main/docs/mqttTopics.md
    If you enable "broadcast self state" flag, you will get uptime broadcasts over MQTT.

    I see some similar behavior on a BK7231N. It has weak connection "Wifi RSSI: Weak (-85dBm)" and loses connection after some days and never connects back. I needs to be power cycled and after it connects to the AP within seconds. Why doesn't OpenBeken reconnect correctly?

    Hello everyone.
    I have SM-028_V1.3. OpenBL602. Flashed OpenBeken release 1.18.94. Set up Ping watchdog with an interval of 20 seconds.
    My router reboots every night. This is necessary because my Internet disappears every night when the provider reboots its equipment. And the Internet does not work until you reboot the router. After flashing SM-028_V1.3, my WiFi connection disappears every night. After rebooting the router at night SM-028_V1.3, it does not connect to WiFi until you unplug it and plug it back in again. Then it connects quickly and without problems. Sorry if I wrote in the wrong topic.

    Good morning. Yesterday I installed OpenBeken release 1.18.96. Everything is working fine this morning. I’ll wonder how it will turn out.

Topic summary

The discussion revolves around issues with devices using the BK7231T chip losing Wi-Fi connectivity when positioned far from the router, necessitating hard resets to restore functionality. Users suggest implementing a ping watchdog mechanism to automate device resets and inquire about sharing uptime data with Home Assistant. Some users report similar connectivity problems with the BK7231N model, highlighting weak Wi-Fi signals and the need for power cycling to reconnect. Solutions include enabling the "broadcast self state" flag for MQTT uptime broadcasts, although some users experience difficulties in displaying this information in Home Assistant.
