EDL21 not working - after HA-core 2024.4.4 - using ser2net

[Foxdelmar]

The problem

Hi,
i am using EDL21 for a long time and it works well.

I use HA on a raspberry pi and a separate raspberry in the same network next to my power distribution box (Stromkasten). The additional raspberry uses the Weidmann Elektronik "IR Schreib/Lesekopf USB (Optokopf)". Two of them. The supply the data via Ser2Net as described in the EDL21 Addon Wiki.

A few month ago i configured it via configurations.yaml:
#  - platform: edl21
#    name: Hausstrom
#    serial_port: socket://192.168.178.76:2001
#  - platform: edl21
#    name: Wärmepumpe
#    serial_port: socket://192.168.178.76:2002

After the upgrade to core-2024.4.4 it stopped worked. After the rollback core-2024.3.3 it worked again.

Maybe it wasn't tested with an USB via ser2net?
What should I type in adding a "new Hub"? how should my adress should be formed?
socket://192.168.178.76:2001
192.168.178.76:2001
//192.168.178.76:2001

Anyone else with the same problem?
Maybe the wiki needs to be edited?

I am not using EDL21 but please not that according to the docs it is configured via the UI and not via YAML.

[Foxdelmar]

I deleted the YAML, did the Core 2024.4.4 update again und tried to add the adress using the UI:

I tried all the three paths, that i wrote down in my first comment but got errors:
socket://192.168.178.76:2001
192.168.178.76:2001
//192.168.178.76:2001

I have the same issue with the same errors as above. I setup my meters via the UI, so I don't think the way of configuration matters for the error.

I have the same issue with the same errors as above. I setup my meters via the UI, so I don't think the way of configuration matters for the error.

I was only noting that since @Foxdelmar migrated from an older version there is no point trying to edit the YAML as he mentioned in the post since it is not relevant anymore. I do understand there is an error, but I am not using this integration so it will have to wait for someone who has experience with this integration

Maybe it wasn't tested with an USB via ser2net? What should I type in adding a "new Hub"? how should my adress should be formed? socket://192.168.178.76:2001 192.168.178.76:2001 //192.168.178.76:2001

Anyone else with the same problem? Maybe the wiki needs to be edited?

Hi @Foxdelmar

This sounds like a request for support?
We use GitHub for tracking issues with Home Assistant Core itself, not for providing support.
If you are in need of support, you should try our Community Forum or join our Discord chat server.

btw the yaml based configuration is already gone since ha-core 2023.6.0

Thanks! 👍

It looks like edl21 has some library issues, #116369 is a clearer issue so I think we can close this one in favor of that issue.

Duplicate of #116369

[Foxdelmar]

Thanks for analyzing my problem.

I havent used den configuration.yaml anymore. I only wrote down how it was configured month ago. So no request for support but an issue. Thanks for helping me out.

With the newest version core-2024.5.1 and core-2024.5.2 it works again. :)
