Wyze bridge going to sleep? about ha-wyzesense

[Czechmarty]

Is this integration completely dead?
Anyone has suggestions?
I really like the Wyze gizmos but this is making them unusable in HA :( :(

I haven't had a problem in at least 6 months. I'm on hass 2021.3.4 running the erlanger wyzesense fork. I probably restart every couple weeks or so.

perhaps it's something specific to my setup. I run on an rpi4 2gb with the most current x64 hassos. I disable wifi, bluetooth and all system/ethernet leds in my boot config. I run the nodered addon with multiple nodes constantly monitoring the wyze entities for state changes. additionally, I run ssh, autossh, emulated hue, plight addons and localtuya, badnest, nodered-companion hacs integrations.

I also use this in my configuration.yaml,
recorder:
db_url: 'sqlite:///:memory:'

Thank you for the reply!!
It's super weird, I can't figure it out and it's driving me crazy. Sometimes the system will run for a day no problem. Sometimes just a few hours and all WYZE sensors are not responding (because of the bridge went to "sleep" or something).
I'm running full mini PC with 8GB memory and 120GB SSD (and SD card).

Couple questions if I can:
What is the "erlanger wyzesense fork?
What does the "nodered addon" mean?
What does the "recorder:" does?

oh, another detail that comes to mind is that my wyze bridge is on firmware v0.0.34. in response to your questions:

1. I run a fork of this repository with 1 additional fix (issue #189) not in master: https://github.com/erlanger/ha-wyzesense
2. https://community.home-assistant.io/t/home-assistant-community-add-on-node-red/55023
3. this directive under recorder runs the hass database completely in memory and never commits it to disk. thought it worth mentioning since this is not common.

Hello stanwebber!
Thank you for more info. This is still driving my crazy and I'm about to give up on Wyze.
I looked at the erlanger fork, but it looks like it was merged with repo and the Readme is carbon copy of this one, so it actually points to this repo for install.
I got node red as well, sorry, misunderstood when you put there nodered. Duh :)
I do have the same 0.0.34 firmware.
Can you update the bridge outside of the Wyze camera? I'm assuming you have the type of bridge that you originally put at the back of camera correct?
Oh and how do you monitor the Wyze Entities thru Node RED? Can you please show me?
Thanks again!

Mine had died 3 times in the past 6 months. Sometime it has error sometime it just died without any error in log.
I have to unplug/plug the bridge, change hidraw value in the HASS docker and restart HASS to make it work.

I already manually added the fix of #189

Error is something like below:

this is a simple nodered flow for email notification monitoring of wyze sensor battery state.
