Instability Frequent Drop out #71

Description

I have been using 8266 as P1 reader since 6 months without any issue until now. ESP crashes pretty much every 2nd readings. I replaced with new 8266 and I updated to the latest esphome since then and even moved a WIFI AP literally next to the EL box but nothing fixed the issue. I have now reduced the wifi output_power from default 20 to 17 and this reduced the number of crashes. I am just wondering what might have caused this sudden change in behavior. I also have capacitor at the power line.

Try powering it separately and not with the P1 port

I am using https://github.com/Beaky2000/esphome-p1mini with 10s in between reads. It’s working so far without any issue.
