TargetHumidifierDehumidifierState error and most of the times I can not shut off with HA switch.

[u20p17]

Version of the custom_component

V0.5.0

Configuration

Where do I find this? While setting up I wrote the static IP of the humidifier as IP adress (192.168.0.14), rest was left empty/standard values.

Describe the bug

Saw this error in the logs. I can see the sensor data, but most of the times when I disable the fan/humidifier with the switch in HA it changes to on state back again (after some seconds) and does not get shut off. Not sure if this is related to the error in the log file.

TargetHumidifierDehumidifierState: value=0 is an invalid value.

Hi @u20p17,

What model of dehumidifier do you have. Can you also get some debug logs

# ...
logger:
  # ... your regular logger conf
  logs:
    custom_components.midea_dehumidifier_lan: debug
    midea_beautiful_dehumidifier: debug
# ...

The other problem the error is coming from HomeKit Accessory Protocol pyhap. If you are able to activate and get some debug logs for that library and corresponding integration, we can try to understand why.

Hi,
I am using the Comfee Luftentfeuchter, 20L/24h, Raumgröße ca.100m³(40m²), MDDF-20DEN7-WF, APP-fähig. (https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B07MSL8YN7/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1)

Now i change the log level and restarted HA. Now i get a different error before the old error:

From the NetHomePlus App it is possible to control the humidifier.

Hi @u20p17, I have the same dehumidifier. The error above occurs while trying to discover the device via UDP, but there is no response. Can you ping it from your home assistant machine?

[u20p17]

Hi,
it seems that the problem was that I gave the dehumidifier a static ip in my router... I now gave him a dynami ip and made a fresh install in the iOS App and HA and now it seems to work again.

regarding the homekit error attached a debug log:
debug_log.txt

Hope this helps... :)

Hello, I always have the problem, e.g. when I update HA or simply install something that requires a restart, that the devices say goodbye and the integration reports an error.
This can usually be remedied by deactivating the integration, then reactivating it and restarting the server.

The error you have seen is already known bug in library used by Home Assistant
home-assistant/core#60203

There is nothing that can be done in this integration to avoid it.

Good news is that is being fixed in just released https://github.com/ikalchev/HAP-python/releases/tag/v4.4.0 so it should come in one of the coming releases of Home Assistant.
