OBK OTA Update Fails on BK7231N Smart Plugs: Stuck on Version 1.18.145

Question

Hello,

all my smart Plugs with Chipset BK7231N are on OBK V 1.18.145
After 1.18.146 and 1.18.147 were released, I wanted to update via OTA (config -> OTA and WebApp-> OTA) but this doesn't work.
After pressing start button for OTA, the device reboots but the version of OBK keeps 1.18.145.

I have rbl file for 1.18.146, 1.18.147, 1.18.144, 1.18.140. Nothing worked.

What can I solve this without opening and make a serial flashing?

Thanks.

I have successfully OTAd from .145 to .149 on a blank test device. What are your pin assignments and autoexec if you have one configured? I can mimic and try OTA again

I suppose it has to do with my flags-config:Flags 134743044 Because more and more devices use TuyaMCU, I am configuring all my devices via autoexec.bat, also the PIN-only-devices like smart plugs:Code: text Expand Select all Copy to clipboard//clearIO PowerSave 1 Flags 134743044 startDriver BL937 SetupEnergyStats 1 60 1440 1 startDriver NTP ntp_setServer fritz.box ntp_timeZoneOfs 2 waitFor NTPState 1 //startDriver TuyaMCU //startDriver tmSensor mqtt_broadcastInterval 30 mqtt_broadcastItemsPerSec 30 waitFor MQTTState 1 //tuyaMcu_defWiFiState 4 //tuyaMcu_sendQueryState delay_s 5 setPinRole 6 BL0937CF setPinChannel 6 0 setPinRole 7 BL0937CF1 setPinChannel 7 0 setPinRole 8 Rel setPinChannel 8 1 setPinRole 23 WifiLED_n setPinChannel 23 0 setPinRole 24 Btn setPinChannel 24 1 setPinRole 26 BL0937SEL setPinChannel 26 0 setStartValue 0 1 setStartValue 1 1 delay_s 5 DeviceName OpenBKsteckdoseTVwohn DeviceShortName OpenBKsteckdoseTVwohn MqttHost ha.fritz.box MqttPort 1883 MqttUser MQTT //MqttPassword  MqttClient OpenBKsteckdoseTVwohn MqttGroup bekens_n WiFiSsid MySSID //WiFiPass WlanPasswort delay_s 5 setChannelLabel 1 SchalterOBKtvWohn delay_s 5 scheduleHADiscovery by this, you have the whole config at one place and make a backup of config much easily. with a blank device config with this autoexec.bat, I could make an update of OBK: Code: text Expand Select all Copy to clipboard clearIO Flags 0

After new versions of OBK were released, I investigated the problem further.
Starting with my autoexec.bat, I found the line causing the problem:

SetupEnergyStats 1 60 1440 1

The problem appears as follows in the web interface:

The reboot is triggered too early. The "Reboot" entry in the web interface does not appear.

Probably this is related to this: It looks like we need to stop all drivers when OTA is running. I was kinda sure we already do it? I need to check.

blacksun2 · Answer

I also think that stopping the drivers was already installed in OBK.Before version 1.18.143, the said line made no trouble.

I can see there are some ota_progress guards in some places, but DRV_RunQuickTick is still called without it.

Just FYI.
I read in the changelog for version 1.18.155 that there have been some OTA fixes. I just wanted to let you know that OTA isn't working yet with "Flags 134743044" and the mentioned autoexec.bat.
