relay S3 no wifi and strange behaviar

[bkbartk]

Hello,

I just got my Lilygo T-RelayS3, but I can't get it to work as expected.
I flashed esphome on it using the config below
wifi settings are in my .base.yaml
I connected the external antenna,
-still my device does not connect to wifi.
-no AP is created for fall back
-on boot, random switches are enabled, no clue way.
-when I try to get anything out of the serial logger the serial adapter keeps disconnecting which makes logging impossible.
So actually I don't get anything to work.

I power my device using usb-c, but powering is from my PC or using an RPI-4 adapter doesn't matter, the behaviar is the same.

I must be missing something but can't figure what it is.

Sorry, I found a mistake, I have updated esphome, please retest https://github.com/Xinyuan-LilyGO/LilyGo-T-Relay/blob/main/ESPHome/T-Relay-ESP32S3.yaml

I applied the changes for GPIO4 but it doesn't help.
this serial addapter keeps diconnecting USB JTAG/Serial debug urit(COM3) - paired
so the log only says

[22:53:42]ESP-ROM:esp32s3-20210327
Terminal disconnected: NetworkError: The device has been lost.

the only way the keep the com port steady is to hold the boot button. but then I don't get logs either.
I also set the restore mode to always_On, but that doesn't change anything, It's just like my flash doesn't stick to the device.

some comment, it seems to work when I use framework: arduino,
but all fails when using framework: esp-idf.
is there no support for this? and if not will there ever be?

Are you using esphome? Does it keep disconnecting? What method did you use to write to it?
