Have been using my 2.5i ratgdo with plugin 4.08 without issues.   Just tried OTA update to firmware 2.59 (from 2.57) and lost connection with the device.  I tried re-installing (with Chrome) the ESPHome firmware but no connection results when using “dry contact” and “2.5i” selections. Interestingly, the ESPHome will re-install if I select the security 2.0, but the garage door does not open or close when commanded (ratgdo home screen attached) Any suggestions?

Try connecting directly to PC and erase all data when loading firmware.

Have already done that with no successs

The latest version of the node server is for ESPHome based ratgdo firmware. Is 2.59 ratgdo firmware only for the mqtt version? Which would break its connection with the node server.

Was able to regain ability to "visit" Ratgdo after several rounds of re-flashing the device, which is a 25i running "dry contact" protocol.  Unfortunately, the open/close commands in the AC or in UD mobile do not open/close door.  The "toggle" command in the AC does, but the correct door status is not updated.  Not sure why this has happened as I have had a very stable system.  Attaching log package.

Problem solved.  I had a loose "open sensor" wire.  Now all works well.  Per Paul Weiland, firmware 2.59 is only for MQTT.
