A lot Spa socket errors

[jurrianv]

I'n using te latest version (0.4) of this component. The component stops after a few hours. After a restart from Home Assistant, it works again. The logs:

And

Connection reset by peer_

Any idea what it could be?

So.. the stupid wifi device is designed to do this. Basically it transmits for awhile, (screaming data at an absurd rate) and then just stops. The code more or less has to detect this, fail down, and then reconnect.

It's highly obnoxious, and I agree, but the best I can do here is notice the failure and reconnect over and over...

Do you know what improvements they have made with Rev 6? I have the Rev 1 and it really sucks.
Answer: Revision 6 has a reset that reestablishes the connection every hour, so that if it disconnects, it has a chance to reconnect to the router.

So I think that the connections drop outs are by design with a hard reset EVERY hour. because their engineers are too lazy to use a decent Wi-Fi stack and build proper error handling routines into their module. Considering how much they charge for this module, it's a little outrageous lol.... I guess i'm the sucker who still decided to buy one even with the poor online ratings... And sure enough my error messages are practically on the hour...

I just had the module drop off the air for entire hour because it didn't reestablish the wifi connection properly during one of its cycles..

Wow. I'm guessing I'd have to buy a new one to get that rev 6 tho... :(
