Summary
This release focuses on improving boot reliability for users with the climate add-on
by implementing automatic NVS (Non-Volatile Storage) reset functionality during boot loops.
Key Improvements
Climate Add-on Boot Loop Recovery
Implemented factory_reset platform to automatically clear NVS data when boot loops are detected,
specifically targeting improved reliability for climate add-on configurations.
How it works:
- Automatic NVS wipe when boot loop conditions are detected
- Targeted for climate add-on users who have been experiencing persistent boot issues
- Community-contributed solution that has shown positive results in testing
Expected benefits:
- Improved boot success rates for climate add-on configurations
- Automatic recovery from corrupted NVS data that may cause boot loops
- Reduced need for manual intervention during boot failures
Important note: When NVS reset occurs, panel-specific settings will be lost (display type, temperature offset, brightness settings, etc.).
However, Blueprint configuration remains unaffected - only settings stored locally on the panel are cleared.
Community Collaboration
Special thanks to @idstein for suggesting this solution approach.
This improvement demonstrates the value of community input in solving complex technical challenges.
Technical Details
Issue Reference: Community feedback and testing
The factory_reset platform monitors boot behavior and automatically clears Non-Volatile Storage
when boot loop conditions are detected. This addresses cases where corrupted or problematic
NVS data prevents successful system startup, particularly in memory-intensive configurations
like the climate add-on.
Result: Enhanced boot reliability for climate add-on users through automatic NVS reset functionality,
reducing manual recovery procedures and improving overall system resilience.
Targeted improvement for climate add-on boot reliability through community-suggested NVS reset functionality.
