Are there any tests for a faulty or strangely behaving OpenBeken-flashed device?
Got a 'smart plug', a Silvergear. I hacked it a few years ago and programmed it with OpenBeken. It monitors my shower heater (boiler), and it also works like a timer for the heater, so it only heats up during daylight hours (got solar panels).
Just the other day, it suddenly stopped - Cold shower, brrrrr.
I tried to reset it. Managed to burn OTA to the latest software, 1.18.300. That took a few tries before it finally connected.
Then I set all the config parameters as they were before.
However, it is still behaving erratically. It randomly switches off and on again. It is not trustworthy at the moment.
Maybe the flash is faulty? Can I test that somehow? Where can I monitor the flash free space/occupied space? Can I do a full reset of the flash without corrupting the OpenBeken software, of course?
Or do I just replace the brains? It's a CB2S module. I do have a TYLC5 module; can I use that?
Your input is appreciated.
AI: What exact Silvergear smart plug model is it, and what is the boiler/heater load in watts/amps? Also: does the plug or relay/power supply get warm/hot when the boiler is running?
Exact model number is missing.
The heater draws about 700 W.
The relay is heating up somewhat, but not alarmingly hot.
AI: Can you post the OpenBeken console/log output around the moment it switches off/on, plus your current pin config, autoexec/startup commands, timers/rules, and whether MQTT/Home Assistant or another controller can still send commands to it?
Since it randomly switches off and on, I do not have logs. It may occur only once/2 hours.
It does seem to report to my Home Assistant server.
