SOLVED: HELP ! TIBBER PULSE & UPGRADE - HUB BROKEN ?

[typxxi]

I have struggled yesterday and finally went into the nodes menu to configure the "reading"

When I pressed configure I got this NODES menu which looked a bit different cause at the bottom was an option if the SMARTMETER is using invisible IR light or visible.
I chose "invisible" cause I could not see thee light in our LANDIS + GYR E320 smartmeter
only by watching through the smartphone camera app.

After chosing invisible and press apply I lost more or less instantly access to the bridge.

Today I took the hub and die a full factory reset as I was told:
plug in for 5 seconds and pull out for 5 seconds and
repeat this 10x

Then I was able to restart the hub and reestablish the connection to the hub (by putting the Hub into the Access Mode) using the Tibber App. Then I got a firmware update from tibber which took quite a while (it was said it consists out of 4 parts).

Finally I was able to connect the Hub to the pulse reader

But since then I got no reading, I can not access the "nodes configure" menu and have no clue.
Homeassistant seems to have lost connection to the device too.

After pushing the bridge into a power socket I get access to the bridge via browser and IP 192.168 ...

I can open menus on the top and everything seem to be fine.
I can open NODES MENU and then click on the DATA button and get this

and minutes or seconds later the Hub is no longer accessible via IP .

I can pull the hub out and plug it in - seconds later I have access again.

I can open NODES MENU and then click on the Metrics button to get this

then the same unrepsonsiveness occures which I can only fix bat

Replug and the the same story for the CONFIGURE Menu where I face this "error message" at the bottom.

and then it feels frozen again.

I am not even sure that it has something to do with the NODES Menu cause it feels the behvaiour reappears after x minutes.

Any idea how to get the genuine factory reset which would mean that I get access to the configure menu again ?

Right now I am loosing access via browser every few minutes. And I do not get data - only 1 figure since yesterday which was even in the tibber app always the same 683 Watt or so.

... but you have disabled the HA integration? [While you configure/connect the Bride/Pulse you should stop the HA Integration]

[typxxi]

No, I have not.
But right now I deactivated the Tibber pulse HA integration.

Then I unplugged the bridge and to my surprise even after 5 minutes the whole bridge was still quite alive in the browser.

And then I also started to look around from the easier stuff (just looking, not playing) and found my configure button working again.
The screenshot I could not make to show what I had done yesterday 5 to 12 pm

And I can instantly recognice the settings that I had when it was working.

• SML 1.04 was active

And I shot me into the foot when I had thought that the missing voltages had been caused by the new smartmeter gateway we had gotten yesterday.
At 23:55 I stood in front of the new smartmeter to take a picture and saw the infrared LED blinking on my smartphone display and hence I new it was an invisible infrared "transmission".

Then I changed the setting and I was completely screwed.

Here is the step that broke my neck in case someone else would do the same.
#1 I swichted to SML 1.04 which took a few minutes (3 or 4 minutes)
#2 I turned on infrared and I got the error UNABLE TO SEND PARAMETER

Right now I have ACTIVATED THE TIBBER PULSE LOCAL integration and suddenly my few sensors are a live again.
It feels like many are missing but that is not really true - only "kWh fed into the grid" is missing, but I am not sure if that is a feature I have to turn on in the "Landis Gye E3202 smart meter gateway.

THANKS A LOT - I was not aware about the "key topic" to stop HA while working with the hub directly.

when the Integration is active it "constantly" requesting (PULL-MODE) data from the bridge - and in PUSH-MODE (default) the Integration establish a websocket connection... Looks like, when there is no data ready that can be send via the websocket the bridge (webserver) becomes unstable...

What I had also not realized so far:

the "tibber core integration" is still running in the background and that is providing far more values than Octopus.

in the 6th line you can see the 4,1 kWh as production of the last mile which means:

Might sound ridiculous, unless you remember that it is a new counter deployed yesterday when the surplus production was low cause the EV and home storage battery were charging and the day had started clouded.

Here is the 24 hour time line

But now the big question: Why is the genuine tibber integration able to read and provide more data ?

Here is the 2 year old tibber HA integration:

But voltage and current for all 3 phases are still missing.
Weird.

But thanks a lot for your support.

FINAL UPDATE (hopefully)

feeding in or Einspeisung is back since 8:40 am ... I guess Octopus metering might save money by not transmitting data through the night.

I doubt that it is caused by the production cause right now close to no surplus and battery was empty yesterday 23:30
