Integration problems with Dell computers #37

Open myriaxis opened 7 months ago

myriaxis commented 7 months ago

Hi, I have two Dell servers (PE T110ii and PE R540) that I would like to power on/off from HA via IPMI. I installed your IPMI connector via HACS and I can see it in the /homeassistant/custom_components folder.

For the PE T110ii, I managed to add it as a device. Using an HA script, I can power on, power off, but soft shutdown does nothing. Also, the device switch is unavailable most of the time. If I use ipmitool from a windows command prompt, I can issue a soft shutdown successfully. What should I do to use the soft shutdown?

For the PE R540, I can't add it as a device. If I use ipmitool from a windows command prompt, I can get the chassis status. So, the server responds to ipmi commands, why am I not able to add it?

Please help,
