Sonoff does not load entities without internet

[mishoco]

Hello dear, I have HA running on windows 10 hyperv. I bought Sonoff products as these are the only ones available in the market here. I got one Sonoff RF Bridge and one Mini Switch and one Camera GK-200

Using the below code in configuration.yaml, HA is loading all of the three entities together with the RF sensors:

sonoff:
  username: xxx
  password: xxx
  rfbridge:
    Door Sensor:  # sensor name in eWeLink application
      name: Door Sensor # optional, you can change sensor name
      device_class: door  # e.g. door, window
      timeout: 60
    Motion Sensor:  # sensor name in eWeLink application
      name: Motion Sensor # optional, you can change sensor name
      device_class: motion
      timeout: 60  # optional (default 120), timeout in seconds for auto turn off

I disconnected the DSL plug from the router to test loading entities locally, the above three entities were not loaded. I added the below code to the configuration file but with no avail:

mode: local
reload: always

Can you please advise what is wrong or missing here as i tried all possible ways I know.

Thank you. Michel

Can you please post your config again, using the 'insert code' tag, so its formatted properly?

reload: always forces the code to check the cloud on each startup. This should only been needed if you need to check the cloud every single time.

mode: local forces only local (LAN) mode. This should not be needed either, as by default the code will use cloud and local automatically as is needed. You would only need to force 'local' only if you really really don't want the devices potentially talking to the internet.

Hey wishie, Here is the code i used:

sonoff: username: xxx password: xxx rfbridge: Door Sensor: # sensor name in eWeLink application name: Door Sensor # optional, you can change sensor name device_class: door # e.g. door, window timeout: 60 Motion Sensor: # sensor name in eWeLink application name: Motion Sensor # optional, you can change sensor name device_class: motion timeout: 60 # optional (default 120), timeout in seconds for auto turn off

Remove the reload: always and how me the logs please.

You should have a file called .sonoff.json in your config directory.. can you confirm it is there please

[AlexxIT]

@mishoco read readme "common problems in only LAN mode" section

[mishoco]

@wishie I confirm that .sonoff.json file is there. Here is the log with mode: local and without the reload: always 2020-09-14 16:02:54 DEBUG main SysInfo: {'version': '0.114.4', 'dev': False, 'hassio': True, 'virtualenv': False, 'python_version': '3.8.3', 'docker': True, 'arch': 'x86_64', 'os_name': 'Linux', 'os_version': '5.4.63', 'supervisor': '243', 'host_os': 'HassOS 4.13', 'chassis': 'vm', 'docker_version': '19.03.11'} 2020-09-14 16:02:54 DEBUG main LOCAL mode start

@AlexxIT I checked the readme and i have the below: Devices are not displayed

Only supported devices with firmware v3+: i have firmware 3.5 Common problems with Multicast: two routers: I have only one router virtual machine with port forwarding. you must use bridge virtual network mode (not NAT mode): i am using HyperV External Network Bridge mode

[AlexxIT]

@mishoco maybe your HA and devices in different VLAN. Or you have block traffic between LAN devices. Or HyperV has problems with Multicast like VirtualBox.

[mishoco]

I can confirm that they are on the same LAN subnet. Alex is there a way to troubleshoot Multicast?

[AlexxIT]

You can try to enable zeroconf logs...

logger:
  default: warning
  logs:
    zeroconf: debug

[mishoco]

Thank you Alex for the feedback. I got one related error to sonoff from the log when i restarted HA with no internet as below:

Log Details (ERROR) Logger: homeassistant.setup Source: custom_components/sonoff/sonoff_cloud.py:282 First occurred: 9:28:36 PM (1 occurrences) Last logged: 9:28:36 PM

I also have this detailed log when mode: local is used DetailedLog.txt

[AlexxIT]

Probably fixed in latest master-version
