Unstable connectivity

Great project and build instructions. Having the PCB build with the shared files was fast an easy and the quality is very good.

I have to reset and recooonec to Homekit every 2-3 days. I built three of these and none of them is stable. I guess there is still code imporvement. BTW having and OTA option may help in getting improvement to that point but I still see that option in the to-do list

Hi!
This project is based on esp-open-rtos and the development was ended few years ago 😅 this is why i’ve not updated the code in a few years. Currently i’m working on a full rewrite of the main code, which is much more stable 🤓

@HomeKidd that’s awesome! Are you targeting an approximate release date?

I performed the HomeKit architecture upgrade last week and now nearly all of my controllers are unstable/not reconnecting even though they’re active on the network.

@jmgutierrezc1 @arkn666l if you want to move to the ESP32, I just created this LED controller with HomeSpan. So far it's working great with my WS2812Bs.

What esp32 model are you using? Can the same pub be used?

I meant PCB…

@jmgutierrezc1 I used these ESP32s https://amzn.to/3KF4oBg

I was able to combine them with my existing HomeKidd-designed boards to take advantage of the power and data components already on that board.
