Did you get an answer? I'm in the same boat.

Almond and Almond A1A / Re: Almond shows WPA2-PSK with AES as not secure

« Last post by georgiacromartie on January 21, 2020, 06:49:46 am »

Since WPA is flawed I changed the security mode from WPA2-PSK/WPA-PSK to WPA2-PSK AES. For some reason the web interface says the most secure option isn't secure? What? I asked the Network Administrator I am shadowing for my college internship and he scratched his head at that.

Did clearing the complete browser cache help you? Try ccleaner to make sure all cache is deleted as my browser for some reason doesn't delete everything...

What home automation are you using. I did a component for HomeAssistant.

I'd be very interested to see the custom component.  I was thinking of trying webhooks to be able to use the peanut in home assistant, but if you already have something that would be great!

Almond 3 / Re: New firmware, hopefully soon

Given the activity (or lack thereof) on these forums, I fear interest in the Almonds has waned; but it would be a great pity if support were to stop.

The capacitor replacement (https://forum.securifi.com/index.php/topic,5559.msg34336.html#msg34336) is a permanent solution and the units then function no matter how hot things get.

I used an exact replacement and they no longer crash, no matter how hot it gets; it is indeed a permanent fix. I remain indebted to Securifi for telling me the solution; once repaired they are delightful units.

Now it might be argued that the original problem took time to show itself and that the same might be true for the replacements, but so far all is well.

It has been over a year now since there was a firmware update; hopefully lots of fixes.

I don't actually use any of the home automation features, just the Wi-Fi and weather display.

Agreed!  Other than the white screen issue (see my response in your other thread), I've been happy with my three A3s. I hope they're not winding down support for these boxes.

Anwar,

Two of my three Almond 3's have this white screen issue, so I was happy to find your fix. I have no problem replacing that surface mount capacitor. But what exactly did you replace it with?  Did you use a larger non-surface mount cap, or simply replace this with the same 10uF@6.3V value surface mount cap?

And now several months later are you still convinced that this is a permanent fix?

Thanks again!

Almond 3 / Weather

For me one of the greatest virtues of the Almond screen was its ability to display the weather; sure hope this feature is restored.
