Connecting to wifi broken since 3.3.6

[sheld0r73]

My airgradient one updated last night to firmware 3.3.6
Since then it won't connect to my wifi

For testing purposes I've installed 3.0.8 directly from airgradient which is working perfectly fine
However this old version doesn't support home assistant

Below is the log from firmware 3.3.6
I don't understand why it assignes the IP 0.0.0.0
I'm providing the airgradient with a fixed IP and as said everything is working fine with 3.0.8

I can flash between those two versions as often as I like and the result will be always the same
3.0.8 is working but 3.3.6 doesn't connect to the wifi

Firmware update starting...

p.s. the airgradient is stuck in a loop with 3.3.6
once it's done with the firmware update it'll reboot and try again

[sh0]

I'm also seeing a 3.3.6 firmware update loop, but wifi works fine. My solution has been to intercept DNS requests and ban hw.airgradient.com for now.

My understanding is that the OTA request to http://hw.airgradient.com/... should return 304 if firmware is up to date. However, the server sends 3.3.6 firmware again. This better be fixed soon as the loop will cause flash degradation.

I'm having exactly the same problems since last night's auto-update.
Same as you, I can stop this problem by installing the older version 3.0.8.

Check #308 related to #309. Honestly, I'm not very happy with how much all this reinstalling will break my home assistant integration.

I had the same Issue since last night. Had to flash to 3.2.0 via Arduino-IDE.

• Extract 3.2.0 Source-Code to Documents\Arduino\libraries\AirGradient_Air_Quality_Sensor
• Setup IDE according to guide
• Execute the Version >= 3.3.0 procedure
• Reconnect device to WiFi

In my opinion flashing 3.0.8 is not a solution, since features are missing and bugs are present in the prometheus metric standard.

I'd suggest providing 3.2.0 as a "quick-flash" in the firmwares section.

This might still be a problem, since the device tries to OTA-update itself with a normal firmware, which currently causes the boot-loop, therfore the firmware has to be set with the disabled OTA for now.

The general error in the current 3.3.6 seems to be with:

| [WebServer.cpp] _handleRequest(): request handler not found

[okica-11]

Chiming in again so fast, lol.

Anyway, I tried to install 3.2.0 but decided there must be a faster way (installing the update via a web browser).

Being unable to find 3.2.0 web-updater, I did find version 3.1.13 here https://www.airgradient.com/documentation/one-v9/ . So I wiped and installed the old FW via USB and browser and connected to the AP. I entered local wifi credentials and DISABLED OTA with a checkmark at the bottom of the page. Soon enough air sensor somehow decides it still wants to do the OTA update (even when it should not!) and we are again, back to square one with self-rebooting-not-working-3.3.6-forcing air sensor.

I give up. I hope they push working OTA update soon. Until then, my sensor is unplugged and waiting in the corner - measuring dust particles the old way ;).

Thanks for posting, @sh0 ! Blocking DNS requests from my AirGradient for "hw.airgradient.com" has stopped the 3.3.6 boot loop that started this morning for me at around 4am LDN (3am UTC), so it's usable again until the fixed version of the firmware is rolled out.

This does make me wonder if automatic firmware updates like this should be enabled by default - I don't remember enabling them but perhaps there was an option to disable them that I missed. Maybe it would be better for automatic firmware updates to be disabled by default (with an option to enable) but have it show as available via the HA integration.

Thx @sh0 - Blocking DNS requests to hw.airgradient.com is a decent workaround

I hope they'll release a fix soon...

Hi All,

We just release 3.3.7 to fix this, but its not on the firmware page and automatic firmware update yet. For more information about this issue, you can read this explanation: https://forum.airgradient.com/t/all-airgradient-one-sensors-repeatedly-updating-on-3-3-6-starting-09-30-gmt-29-04/4069/37?u=samuel_airgradient

I've updated to 3.3.7 and I am not getting any bootloops anymore 👍🏻
