XIAO ESP32C3 not connecting to Home Assistant MQTT

Community

New user here. :grimacing:
I’m trying to follow the tutorial
https://wiki.seeedstudio.com/connect_vision_ai_v2_to_ha/#step-10-configuring-the-network-for-grove-vision-ai-v2--xiao
and was able to connect the ESP32C3 to wifi but it won’t connect to the Home Assistant MQTT add-on (either variation). I verified that the service is working fine but the status showing “Loading” instead of connected.
When I look at the serial monitor output of the ESP32, I just see
[0;32mI (7906) himax_status: himax_config != true ,continuee[0m
repeating at a high rate. Since I don’t have the source code for the flash provided in the tutorial for the ESP32, I don’t know how to troubleshoot this further. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Hi there,

and welcome here…
So which BSP did you use to compile with, You may need to roll it back in the boards tab in the IDE. Try 3.0.7 seems to be the magical one IMO. :+1:

Hi PJ_Glasso,
I didn’t compile it. It was provided as a bin file to flash the ESP32C3. (XIAO_C3_as_AT_module_v241209.bin) I haven’t been able to find the source code.
Thanks.

Major breakthrough! I found a different, older version of the bin file at wiki-documents/docs/Sensor/Grove/Grove_Sensors/AI-powered/Grove-vision-ai-v2/Application/grove-vision-ai-v2-sensecap-app.md at docusaurus-version · Seeed-Studio/wiki-documents · GitHub for integration with SenseCap. This version connects to MQTT fine. It has issues with slow/intermittent update of the video in home assistant but at least it functions so I can get on with it. Thanks for you suggestions.

Hi there,

Nice work, Yea that was probably compiled with the correct BSP, I’m Betting. I had seen the comment b4 is why I asked, do you have ESP-IDF installed on the machine by chance??
asking for a friend… :yum: :v:

Keep going looks like they are always updating it so :crossed_fingers:

also mark yours (post with link)as the solution so Others can find it too!

Not sure about ESP-IDF. Probably not then. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:
I’ve got the video streaming to the Sensecraft app and kind of to Home Assistant. I think the source code is included with the new tutorial so my next step is to see if it will compile for my ESP32-C6 which should improve performance a lot.
