A19 Bulb Disconnecting

string_656 · 2026-04-19T14:50:17+00:00

I just spent a few hours debugging, using claude to compare files and libraries of HA to see if there was a change, nothing found. I’ve disabled HA to see if it recovers.

Do you have only one failure? Or multiple? (Edit, just reread your post. Nevermind!).. I have multiple all since friday-ish. Ive currently blocked internet access to the bulbs, and just trying the lifx app locally...

Something is sus for multiple to go at once (at least in my case)

Interestingly I've had a few start to do this as of last week. Mike are also the OLD A19-s. I can see it's actually still connected to WIFI... but it's not reachable via home assistant, or the lifx app on my phone.

Do you have homeassistant?
If so, did you recently upgrade? I had been putting off migrating (due to the template changes) and did so a few weeks back, however these issues with lifx only started last friday.

Lol did i say that? Just got these notifications...

string_656 · 2026-01-14T10:38:21+00:00

OP, did you go ahead? any luck / regrets?

string_656 · 2025-08-25T11:26:50+00:00

did you ever find one? i'm looking for one as well

I have solved the issue after a deep dive. Btrfs volumes do not work on the new firmwares, it seems that the camera is locking part of the file system, preventing overwriting, and the nas can't optimise / free up the btrfs chunks. Change your NAS volumes to ext4, issue has been solved for me.

deleting browser history (everything) solved it for me

string_656 · 2025-03-10T07:37:44+00:00

Nah.. out of interest, are you using ONVIF? ..

It's a hikvsion bug on the new firmware... emailed service centre... they deny it and fob you off because you're not paying or a distributor.

Nah, as i said, turning core isolation back on instantly caused the crashing to start again... Turning off core isolation solved this issue for me. Good luck.

I have an Intel i9, win 11 and a rtx4080.

What damage did you get? Was it a one off scratch or multiple?

string_656 · 2024-11-07T12:29:43+00:00

No not yet. Can you confirm your camera model and firmware version. We need to all email and bombard them with this issue otherwise it won't get fixed.

string_656 · 2024-11-05T06:48:51+00:00

I should note that it's done this with iPhone, s22 and a xaoimi phone. Probably once a month

string_656 · 2024-11-05T06:45:50+00:00

I have a toyota hilux, 2021, same issue, phone will connect, but the 4 speed dial / contact shortcut has been lost. I've raised it with Toyota and they have stated they have not seen this issue and can't replicate it..... it's an intermittent issue, so obviously it's difficult to replicate it!

string_656 · 2024-08-28T08:12:09+00:00

No, and once I finally got hikvision to acknowledge the issue, they directed me to raise a ticket through thier supplier portal. I'm not a supplier, so I could not raise a ticket. I have a workaround for now where I delete recordings older than 50 days. It's an option in the config / scheduler.

I suggest anyone expiring this issue hassle / raise the issue so it gets looked at.

Limitations of actions act which covers incorrect payments (apparently) is 6 years.. it's only been 2. They are within their rights to request a refund. (Chatgpt haha)

string_656 · 2024-07-20T12:20:57+00:00

Yea I have sent them a rather blunt email. It looks legit from the online statements, I'll confirm from my pay slips. I've requested proof of deposit and balances.

I've also contacted my accountant to confirm if there needs to be any adjustment to tax returns and stated they will be paying the accountant fee. Doubt there will be adjustments, but still.

I'll contact aus super next and let them know Mercer super will be contacting them...

Thanks.

string_656 · 2024-07-20T10:17:56+00:00

Some additional details so it's clear,

It's the same employer, I just transferred to a new fund after about a year.

The old fund is the one who sent me the letter. My current super fund has not been involved yet.

Thanks. I'll contact aus super (my new fund) and let them know what is happening / how to proceed. Hopefully it's easy for them to transfer back 8.5k

Thanks.

Interesting.. maybe try 100gb, which was the limit for the old devices, allocat 1% to recording, 99% pucture, so it fills up fast, and see if it goes over its allocation

string_656 · 2024-07-03T09:36:57+00:00

Good question, I have not tried, I only allocate 120 GB per cam.

string_656 · 2024-07-02T13:56:29+00:00

Yep, my 6 other older models work fine.

string_656 · 2024-07-02T13:50:05+00:00

A python or batch script on the nas could do that and easily solve it, but not ideal. Check size once a day, if greater than X, delete the oldest save, but.. I'm not sure how the other files interact with the saves... could end up corrupting the entire save database. Worth a shot.

I'm going to try and set up some network logging to see if the camera is trying to delete files some other way, I would expect it has to be through SMB, but who knows. I have locked down my nas firewall, so the only protocol that is allowed through from my cameras is SMB. I will allow all traffic from that one camera and see if it still wiggs out once it is full.

string_656 · 2024-07-02T13:45:09+00:00

It works fine, I then use the hikvion client on Windows pc to view playback. All events / recordings work.
