frontier_silicon: "Unknown error" when connecting to Pure Connect+ DAB

[philpem]

The problem

I tried to connect Home Assistant to my new Pure Connect+ DAB/FM/Internet radio. It wasn't auto-detected by Home Assistant, so I added it manually.

When I did so, I entered its IP address in "Host", and got the error message "Unknown error".

The only thing relevant in the logs is:

Logger: homeassistant.components.frontier_silicon.config_flow
Source: components/frontier_silicon/config_flow.py:105
Integration: Frontier Silicon ([documentation](https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/frontier_silicon), [issues](https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3A%22integration%3A+frontier_silicon%22))
First occurred: 17:48:09 (4 occurrences)

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/src/homeassistant/homeassistant/components/frontier_silicon/config_flow.py", line 105, in async_step_user
    self._webfsapi_url = await AFSAPI.get_webfsapi_endpoint(device_url)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.10/site-packages/afsapi/api.py", line 133, in get_webfsapi_endpoint

    parser.feed(text)
xml.etree.ElementTree.ParseError: syntax error: line 1, column 0

If I connect to one of the FSAPI endpoints manually with a web browser, e.g. http://10.0.0.226/device , I get a "netRemote" XML response. /fsapi/GET/netRemote.sys.info.radioId?pin=1234 returns a fsapiResponse response, with FS_OK status and the radio's unique ID in the response.

What is the exact output of your http://10.0.0.226/device ?

Mine looks like this:

<netRemote>
<friendlyName>Keukenradio</friendlyName>
<version>ir-mmi-FS2026-0500-0515-Stream94i_V2.14.35c.EX86167-V1.04</version>
<webfsapi>http://192.168.1.183:80/fsapi</webfsapi>
</netRemote>

[philpem]

Via curl http://10.0.0.226/device:

<netRemote>
<friendlyName>frname</friendlyName>
<version>ir-cui-FS2340-0000-0165_V4.5.13.707296-1A17</version>
<webfsapi>http://10.0.0.226:80/fsapi</webfsapi>
</netRemote>

[wlcrs]

Can you run curl again with -vvv? Maybe the headers give a clue about the root cause. Is it an encoding problem?

[philpem]

That sadly does not help me a lot.

I created the smallest possible piece of code to help me debug further:

Can you please run pip3 install aiohttp, and then execute the following file:

import xml.etree.ElementTree as ET
import asyncio
import aiohttp

async def test_read():
  async with aiohttp.ClientSession() as client:
    resp = await client.get("http://10.0.0.226/device")
    doc = ET.fromstring(await resp.text(encoding="utf-8"))

    print(doc)

    api = doc.find("webfsapi")

    print(api)
    print(api.text)
 

asyncio.run(test_read(), debug=True)

What does it output? If you are getting an error: does it go away if you change the encoding from "utf-8" to "ascii" ?

[philpem]

This is on my desktop PC as I'm not sure how to run the script under HASS OS:

$ python3 test.py 
<Element 'netRemote' at 0x7fa94c108cc0>
<Element 'webfsapi' at 0x7fa94c108db0>
http://10.0.0.226:80/fsapi

The output is the same with both ASCII and UTF-8 encoding.

I've also tried running CURL from the HASS terminal, and got the same result as on my desktop (same XML).

Hi.

I second this. My device is a "Blaupunkt-Napoli-DAB" and internet radio. And unfortunally not reachable via Homeassistant any more. Versions of HA:

• Home Assistant 2023.6.1
• Supervisor 2023.06.1
• Operating System 10.2
• Frontend 20230608.0 - latest

curl http:///device

<netRemote>

<webfsapi>http://<ip>:80/fsapi</webfsapi>
</netRemote>

curl -vvv http://:80/device

If I can check anything else to help and get this up and running again let me know. I loved this plugin very much.

Thank you and kind regards Eric

Tested on the latest Home Assistant and it seems to be fixed, replaced with #97807, which is having no entities discovered for the radio... further discussion on there...
