BLE version tends to crash after a few days - memory leak?

[EasilyBoredEngineer]

Hi @syssi,

I've just noted that the esp32 appears to crash (loses wifi / ble connection etc) after a few days using this repository. recovers after a power cycle. I am using the esp-idf framework, not the arduino.

Thought I'd mention in case anyone else seeing the same issue.

Cheers,

EBE

Is this crash reproducible/periodic? Does the setup crash later if you change the throttle parameter from 5s to 10s?

Did I understand correctly: The ESP doesn't recover from the crash automatically and you have to power cycle the device? I would expect a reboot.

Please reflash your device using ESPHome 2022.8.3 and try again.

esphome clean yourconfig.yaml; esphome run yourconfig.yaml

Should solve the build issue.

Worked like a charm :) thanks, still trying to figure out why the esp board crashes.... this time it worked for 1 week, i think it might have something to do with my wifi mesh being a 2.4+5ghz on same ssid... i'll probably get another router to keep it just for 2.4ghz, curious thing is when the esp board crashes is disconnected from BMS and cannot access it even if it's connected to HA by USB cable.

My theory are WiFi reconnects or BLE reconnects which consumes much memory/resources temporary (and let the ESP crash) or memory leaks in case of reconnects. My BLE test setup is stable if I throttle the traffic to 5s and don't try to use all supported sensors.
