Can you take a screenshot of your developer console with the network tab open?

[sidoh]

Can you reload the page while it's open?

Also try loading http://192.168.0.1/settings and http://192.168.0.1/about

Assuming http://192.168.0.197/settings is empty? What about http://192.168.0.197/about?

Is this a new install or did you upgrade from an older version?

Serial logs (pio device monitor) will probably be useful.

I did had the previous version (and was working good) but i had to wipe the esp to flash the new firmware

i update the screenshot in my prevues comment I hope that helps

[sidoh]

Oh no, that's a drag! Sorry you're running into trouble.

Yeah, it looks like your settings file is empty (if you could try loading http://192.168.0.197/settings manually just to make sure that'd be great). That's probably because there's something funky with the flash configuration. Hopefully we can figure out what's going on.

Did you have to erase flash because you had issues after upgrading?

Could you check serial logs?

[angelgc95]

[No is ju=] http://192.168.0.197/settings empty

No, I just couldn't figure out how to update wifi settings

Looks like you have the baudrate set to 115200. Try setting it to 9600.

Okay yeah that confirms there's something going on with flash:

(...)
Failed to mount file system
(...)

I would try the following:

• Wipe flash entirely (I do this with a command like python3 -m esptool -b 115200 erase_flash)
• Reflash the firmware (python -m esptool -b 460800 write_flash 0x0 <firmware_file>)

Let me know what you see

Hi, I have the a similar problem with the webpage interface:

My settings gives the follwing output:

the about gives the following
{"firmware":"milight-hub","version":"1.13.0","ip_address":"192.168.22.204","reset_reason":"External System","variant":"esp12","free_heap":13080,"arduino_version":"3.1.2","free_stack":1168,"flash_used":8534,"flash_total":957314,"flash_pct_free":99,"mqtt":{"configured":true,"connected":true,"status":"Connected"},"queue_stats":{"length":0,"dropped_packets":0}}

I was using the firmware 1.13.0 on the device, it happened twice on different ESPs, I'm using nodemcu lua v3 from Ali, just using FUT103

It did work perfectly. I was able to set up 20 bulbs, up to one day, the webpage is not accessible anymore.

and more interesting: my HomeAssistant is still able to adresse the bulbs via the ESP through MQTT, it just seems the webpage down. tried on firefox, chrome and chrome incognito.

and the switch between dark and bright does work

last time I just flashed it again, but the problem reoccurred now.

Any ideas on that?

[sidoh]

Ack, that's annoying! Sorry you're running into issues.

I'm guessing there's some kind of UI error that isn't being surfaced. Can you include a screenshot of your dev console?

[thoness-HA]

But the use of the software is FANTASTIC btw.... Thanks a lot

here is a video of using it with the open console

https://youtu.be/6GhWM_SSM6I?si=xl3nKwFVPQ1d0ynV

and top and bottom part

Thanks for your help

[sidoh]

Perfect, thank you. Can you share the output of /gateways?
