Integration doesn't start when Wibeee XML API does not respond

[joaopedros2]

When I restart HA, the integration doesn't start, and to solve the issue, I have to reload the integration entries.

This error originated from a custom integration.

Thanks for the report. I'm afraid this is caused by Wibeee not responding or responding with garbage. When this happens integration is unable to read data from the device and/or to discover what sensors to create in HA.

There are already 10 retries in place, I'm not sure that I can much more.

Note to self: look at using RestoreEntity so that when the integration starts up the entities are restored (with unknown state) and available until such time as when the integration is able to fetch the new status.

same here! sometimes don't report anything, I press the reload button and it works. But suddenly stops again. Normally if I repeat the process it works, but other times I will need press two or three times more delayed on the time until works

[diegodepablos]

same problem here

[luuuis]

The problem is known, as mentioned above. The device's HTTP API (status.xml) is notoriously unstable. It is quite solid once you configure Local Push, however.

"Me too" comments that do not add any information are not helpful, please refrain from commenting unless you have:

• additional logs from a different case not mentioned,
• proposed solutions,
• a correction to make to something that's been said,
• etc.

first of all if my last message was considered waste i'm so sorry, I've posted +1, just for keep in track this issue and also, adding more people as affected to get more priority.

I've enabled debugging mode and I've retrieved a lot of times these logs:

Me home-assistant is a core version in docker but I already got those logs in supervisor with addons version.

the correct answer of this url is the next one:

but sometimes gets the other answer and the problem becomes here

It sound like is a timeout and don't show all response or something similiar

Can I help showing an extra info about the problem to init o keep connected the integration? I can handle it, but I need some clue to obtain that information to share with you

[luuuis]

Thanks @Mocheto but there is no further information required because the problem is well known. It's the same underlying cause as #52: Wibeee device returns garbage sometimes.

The only thing to do is work around the problem, if possible (using RestoreEntity or another approach to be determined).
