Trying to troubleshoot unit unavailable and then immediately available issue in my logs

[mattlward]

I have added the debug command to my configuration.yaml and when I attempt to reboot I get the following error and the system will not reboot.

I think it is the old version not being found, after yours worked I uninstalled the previous Midea HACS integration and have not restarted since.

Configuration.yaml entry:

logger:
  default: warning
  logs:
     custom_components.midea_ac_lan: debug

climate:
  - platform: midea_ac
    host: 192.168.1.xxx
    id: 12094627960xxx

Logger: homeassistant.components.hassio
Source: components/hassio/__init__.py:694
Integration: Home Assistant Supervisor (documentation, issues)
First occurred: 11:50:30 AM (3 occurrences)
Last logged: 11:53:22 AM

The system cannot restart because the configuration is not valid: Platform error climate.midea_ac - Integration 'midea_ac' not found.

Error in integration:

remove the following from your configuration.yaml

climate:
  - platform: midea_ac
    host: 192.168.1.xxx
    id: 12094627960xxx

then restart the HA. then show the logs

[mattlward]

Yeah, just did that... It was the cruff hanging around! Gathering logs now.

[mattlward]

BTW, your integration stopped a serious memory leak my system has had for years! Thanks!

It almost appears that removing the cruff may have solved the issue, but I will give it a few hours to be sure.

If the device disconnected from HA, It's marked as unavailable, the cause is usually a poor Wifi network. You can try ping the device from HA host to check the network.

Looks like I caught the behavior at 12:39:

It's not a warning or an error or fault something and it won't make your device unavailable.

My memory free has gone up by about 500k just changing to this integration and the gentle consumption of memory has stopped!

Ok... caught this.

...

I told you, if the device disconnected from HA, It's marked as unavailable, the cause is usually a poor Wifi network. You can try ping the device from HA host to check the network.

ping [device ip address]

[mattlward]

I understand the message... but this is a new problem with the integration. It does not seem to break anything, but logs stuff. BTW, my access point is and has been 15 feet away with no walls in between. I will add it to my smokeping instance.

[mattlward]

I was just standing and watching the unit, in eco/auto when it changed fan speed... it disconnected for a second. May be firmware on the unit? If I could update firmware, I would but I have never found updates for the unit. It seems that your software has maybe just made it more visible to me.

Forget it if it does not break anything.

Likely what I will do... it makes the thermostat display on my card go unavailable for a second and then it reappears.

Did you try to ping the device?

[georgezhao2010]

If it bothers you, you can modify the file midea_ac_lan/midea/core/device.py and remove the line 349 self.enable_device(False).

[mattlward]

Will do, drives my ocd nuts. Can you tell me what that line does?

[georgezhao2010]

Will do, drives my ocd nuts. Can you tell me what that line does?

That code sets your device to be unavailable immediately upon disconnection. After you delete that code, your device is set to unavailable only if re-connection fails.

[mattlward]

Thanks, worked great! The other improvement you have made is to trim a substantial amount of time off of my reload.
