Thanks @F1p I’ll install later and let you know if that solves it.
@F1p unfortunately different errors

Ohh could it be the funny character at the end of the state_topic?

Could be yes, updated to -h2
I’m just a bit confused as to where these came about..
Hello, after the latest 2 updates I have been experiencing a decrease in wifi connection quality and especially much more on/offs during the morning heating. Before it was working better with almost zero to max 1 on/off in heating mode. Same outside temps as the previous days. Anyone else experiencing the same issues? Any tip? Thanks a lot
Plot wifi signal strength.
I upgraded to ESPHome 2025.11.0 - November 2025 - ESPHome - Smart Home Made Simple and it has improved wifi. But it seems worse for you ? Do you have the unit inside or outside the inside unit?
Wifi should remain stable, one disconnect per day is also not okay. So you probably need to spent some time fixing wifi stability.
I believe it’s the latest esphome update as I’m having that issue since then. Unit is outside the machine and never had any disconnection.
The one per day you mentioned referred to the compressor’s on/off. Also the one/offs are much more after updating.
Try an older version if you can pin point which one made it worse. Are you sure it’s not the weather that is different ? Cause I do see defrosts, those are normal when it around -2 .. +3c with high humidity.
what version is this? (nothing has been changed regarding short cycle handling for couple of releases already, so I assume its really the weather difference). No disconnect does not say a lot, wifi signal is a better indicator.
Are you using a wireless thermostat and does the short cycle start after going over room setpoint? Then you might be affected by the reduce to min delta T when setpoint has been reached. What profile are you using?
Ye I’m using a Bticino Smarther 2 to get data from the main room in the house.
Firmware: esp32s3-z1-en-2025-11-29.01 (ESPHome 2025.11.2)
the esphome 2025.11.x releases have been included since 20.04 so its weird that the latest would behave different (regarding network).
As for starts stop, I think you had defrost weather, just monitor the defrost sensor.
