Randomly stops updating?

[antgustech]

Every now and then the device in the integration simply stops updating. Now for example no values have been updated for over 3 days.

Restarting the integration seems to resolve the issue but it comes back again.

Same for me. I have Version 1.1.1-rc3

This depends on binary_sensor.gardena_smart_system_connection. This gets stuck each few days. Unfortunately the only workaround now is a restart. This can be automated.

What service are you using to restart the gardena integration? (or are you restarting the whole HA instance?)

[Fywqdk]

This branch seems to have a solution for the problem. Mine hasn't lost connection since I updated.

#209

How do I change to this branch in HACS?

[Fywqdk]

Honestly I just copied the part of the code that differed from this branch into my integration manually. It is just a couple of lines of code

[Bucky2k]

Thanks, did the same via file editor. Curious if it will work

[Fywqdk]

Arh ok. I have it running in a docker container on my NAS so it's pretty easy for me to edit the files manually. That said; If you go to HACS -> Integrations -> Top right corner and click on the 3 dots -> User defined repositories (I think - it's translated to danish for me), then you can add other github repositories.

Yes, a full restart via homeassistant.restart

Last week, I also copied the few added code-lines from this repository here to my instance and situation seems to be improved.

It is not so often is disconnecting right now, Trying establish connection and goes total disconnected maybe once in two weeks. Regarding network, it cannot be issue, is a rock solid. But another interesting thing is the pattern when is loosing connection. It loosing connection exact every 2 hours and restore after 10 seconds. It happening all the time, every 2 hours. Debug logs showing nothing interesting, Can it be related to this warning? WARNING (MainThread) [homeassistant.util.loop] Detected blocking call to load_verify_locations with args (<ssl.SSLContext object at 0x7f4ca119fd50>,) inside the event loop by custom integration 'gardena_smart_system' at custom_components/gardena_smart_system/__init__.py, line 86: await self.smart_system.authenticate() (offender: /usr/local/lib/python3.12/site-packages/httpx/_config.py, line 147: context.load_verify_locations(cafile=cafile)), please create a bug report at https://github.com/py-smart-gardena/hass-gardena-smart-system/issues

@jires : I think the warnning refers to another issue, that should be fixed in the next release. I jsut updated the mainstream library. The connection is probably related to token expiration and the fact that we have to get another token. I'll close this issue for now, if the problem occurs again, feel free to create another one :)
