Diagnostics information
(based on my comment: https://github.com/home-assistant/core/issues/122076#issuecomment-2239273411) I have two devices, and one that got an upgrade from firmware v1.17(?) to v1.23 is no longer "cooperating" with integration. I see something changed. Debug below.
- some fields added
- some fields empty
All was working with Gree firmware 1.17 Failed with Gree firmware 1.123
One of the comments in the linked Issues claims that encryption version 2 fixes the problem.

One of the comments in the linked Issues claims that encryption version 2 fixes the problem.
This refers to a custom integration available through HACS, where they wrote their own API connector implementation. Gree changed up the API after v1.21, the integration refers to this change as encryption 2

Support for the new encryption type is being worked on: https://github.com/cmroche/greeclimate/pull/92
I think it made it into HA version 2024.8:
