Red ring on 25.10.0 #480
Description
I have upgraded my Voice PE to 25.10.0 through Home Assistant and now there is a permanent red ring regardless of the state of the mute button.
If I downgrade to 25.5.2 then it can correctly boot, but I cannot add it to Home Assistant without being forced on to the latest version of the firmware and then it stops working again.
I have also asked for help in the forum here https://community.home-assistant.io/t/voice-preview-error-writing-mute-modes-failed/951984 and will copy/paste my description and details from there:
My Voice Preview Edition changed to all red LED all the time regardless of the state of the physical mute button.
I have followed all the steps in the debug guide and reinstalled firmware both normally and in boot loader mode.
When added to Home Assistant everything else works as expected (ie. events for button presses, etc.) but of course since it is permanently in mute mode the actual voice portion does not work.
Has anyone seen this error before and have a way to get out of it?
It was running fine for about a day. Then I disconnected it and moved it to a different location where it also worked fine. Then during the night everything turned red and it was permantly stuck in the mute state.
Here are some relevant snippets from the device logs:
