HACS Comfort cloud integration after restart rarely comes back !!!

[vjmaz]

Hi Team is their something changed with HACS Comfort cloud integration , it keeps becoming unavailable and I have to restart HA many times to get it back then i give up and switch to configuration.yaml and add it in their which works great but I don't have true control ... I prefer using configuration.yaml but what other options do i need to add in the configuration.yaml please to have the out door sensor & kw usage Please

Currently this is all i add in the configuration.yaml climate:

• platform: panasonic_ac username: !secret user password: !secret password

Any suggestion's greatly appreciated ( I have given up using the integrations setup via "Configuration -> Integration -> ADD Integration -> Panasonic Comfort Cloud ( as when i go to restart via server controls -> server management -> Restart I never get it back maybe sometimes after 15 restarts !!! )

Hmm, is this using https://github.com/sockless-coding/panasonic_cc maybe?

It's recommended to reuse the token after authentication to avoid flooding Panasonic Comfort Cloud.

Hi Lostfields I was using https://github.com/sockless-coding/panasonic_cc m ( what I call the Integration via Configuration ) as you would normally add any integrations. But I have run the HACS install integration " Panasonic Comfort Cloud HA component " https://github.com/lostfields/python-panasonic-comfort-cloud on a separate VM HA setup which always come good after restart ... The only thing is if I try to control the unit it`s hit and miss ... BUT after I published this Issue the "Panasonic Comfort Cloud " https://github.com/sockless-coding/panasonic_cc has behaved itself ( so i am writing it off to network issue for now ...

But Mr LostFields if you could tell me on my HA that runs https://github.com/lostfields/python-panasonic-comfort-cloud " Panasonic Comfort Cloud HA component " using configuration.yaml what do I add to configuration.yaml to get "Force outside sensor " & "Enable daily energy sensor (requires restart) " as entities please , I'm not good at understanding code based txt scripts like yaml ... would this work climate:

• platform: panasonic_ac username: !secret user password: !secret password Force outside sensor Enable daily energy sensor

any support will do thank you

If it helps , my main HA is a HP T530 Thin Client (AMD GX-215JJ 1.5-GHz CPU 8GB RAM M.2 SSD 128GB) I flashed the disk to run HA .
