New install on S3-Box-3 ends up in boot loop

[goobags]

I bought a new S3-Box-3 and have not been able to get it to load the voice assistant firmware for the last few weeks. Currently running HAOS 2024.7.4 and ESPHome 2024.7.3

Seems to be getting stuck in a boot loop as per below log output

try again, dont install it via esphome integration, use the website.. esphome is garbage.. it bricks devices from my experience..

https://www.home-assistant.io/voice_control/s3_box_voice_assistant/

Open this in chrome or edge only otherwise you wont be able to conenct from the website.. select the box 3 option

press connect and install it that way, once it installs, press connect on the page again and in the pop up there should be add wifi option. if not then try again, keep pressing, try rebooting device, at some point it will show up.. it took me 15 min to get it..

That's what I tried initially, and although ESPHome recognised it once therefore it must have connected to the network (which I can see in the logs), it never actually worked. I have tried again through the website you linked and I still get the same error ultimately ended up in a boot loop.

E (13070) task_wdt: Task watchdog got triggered. The following tasks did not reset the watchdog in time: E (13070) task_wdt: - loopTask (CPU 1) E (13070) task_wdt: Tasks currently running: E (13070) task_wdt: CPU 0: IDLE0 E (13070) task_wdt: CPU 1: IDLE1 E (13070) task_wdt: Aborting.

I have the same issue: Installed to a new ESP32-S3-BOX-3 via the HA voice assistant website. Installation, Wi-Fi setup and pairing to HA worked without issue. The box then works, until I reboot it, e.g. hit reset button or unplug and plug it in again. It's then showing the loading, three dot image, thinks for a moment, flickers, and shows the loading screen again, ... By checking the logs, again though the website, I can see it's rebooting over and over with the same error message as in @goobags's last comment.
