Core dump when using component on ESPHome

[marcriera]

Hello,

I am having issues using this component on ESPHome. Immediately after the first frame, I get a core dump and constant reboots. I am running it on an MH ET LIVE ESP32MiniKit.

Things I have tried:

• Running ESPHome with the UART to the Haier AC connected/disconnected (same issue, doesn't make a difference).
• Removing the HaierProtocol from ESPHome config (ESP runs normally when HaierProtocol is not used, no core dump)
• Using an ESP8266 instead of an ESP32 (same issue, doesn't make a difference).
• Building on different systems with different OSes/architectures (same issue, doesn't make a difference).

Hi @marcriera,

I will take a look. It is not normal to get faults in any case. But why do you need to use the HaierProtocol library and ESPHome Haier climate component at the same time? Haier Climate already using 0.9.31 version of the library. I suppose it is caused by the fact that the component tries to use both libraries' static objects but one of them is not initialized properly. I will check. But can you explain to me why you need this library alongside with ESPHome Haier component to better understand your use case?

[marcriera]

Thanks for the quick reply.

Sorry, I manually especified the library in the config to check whether an older version was working. That doesn't load the library twice, it just changes the version of HaierProtocol used by ESPHome. Removing that part entirely makes it use version 0.9.31 and the issue is present (that's what led my to try an older version). I saw HaierProtocol mentioned in the build logs and I assumed the problem was here, that's all I know.

Is there anything I'm missing? I just installed ESPHome (version 2024.9.1), created a config file from what I read in https://github.com/paveldn/haier-esphome and ran esphome run aire-dormitori.yaml. Thank you.

@marcriera
Oh, I was sure it was a way to load the library not to use an older version. Anyway, I will take a look. But I don't think there was a significant change recently in this library. Just a small one. If you have problems ESPHome protocol it is better to create an issue here https://github.com/paveldn/haier-esphome and I will take a look 😄
