Plugwise timeouts

[Fietspomp86]

Hey, love the plugwise component. I have 9 circles and 1 circle+. When using the Windows software it finds them all, but when I use Home Assistant i get a lot of timeouts, especially when restarting HASS. After restart some are missing and the only way to get them back is by restarting HASS over and over again untill they are discovered again. Is there any way to give the component more time to discover all the circles?

Running HASS in venv on a NUC btw.

Heres a log example.

EDIT: Tried to adjust the DEFAULT_TIMEOUT = 10 in the /srv/homeassistant/lib/python3.6/site-packages/plugwise/api.py file, this helps a little. Using CyberJunky's plugwise lib.

I have only one plug left, so cannot test with multiple. I have updated the component somewhat a made it work with hass.io, can you copy plugwise/switch.py and manifest.json and test again, if it still doesn't work I will have a look.

I just sold my plugs because it wasn't working properly so I can't test anymore, sorry. I switched to blitzwolf WiFi plugs now. Maybe somebody else can test it for you?

[cyberjunky]

You use/flashed the blitzwolf WiFi plugs with esphome firmware to include them into HA? Any pointers, links etc?

[Fietspomp86]

Going offtopic but yes, I flashed them with tasmota which works perfect with auto discovery into hass. Haven't tried ESPhome though, I use that for some esp32 s which is also nice and user friendly. The tasmota repository has great wiki for blitzwolf shp6 and shp2. Power usage is a bit more unstable compared to plugwise (more peaks etc but it can be stabilized by measuring averages), but on/off works perfect and they have a button for on/off. The shp6 is also very small so it doesn't take up more space than a normal plug.

Closed, cannot reproduce due to lack of hardware.
