Noobie here.

Want to use the software, and its my first time working with an esp8266 device.

I'm getting the following error over and over:

[22:57:08][W][component:237]: Component took a long time for an operation (101 ms). [22:57:08][W][component:238]: Components should block for at most 30 ms. [22:57:09][W][mhi_ac_ctrl:143]: mhi_ac_ctrl_core.loop error: -4 [22:57:09][W][component:237]: Component took a long time for an operation (101 ms). [22:57:09][W][component:238]: Components should block for at most 30 ms. [22:57:09][W][mhi_ac_ctrl:143]: mhi_ac_ctrl_core.loop error: -4 [22:57:09][W][component:237]: Component took a long time for an operation (101 ms).

[22:57:09][W][component:238]: Components should block for at most 30 ms.

When i do esphome logs lr_mhi_ac_ctrl.yaml in the CMD.

i already changed the yaml to the legacy code, removed the .esphome folder and ran the following command again:

esphome lr_mhi_ac_ctrl.yaml run.

After that i pick 1 (usb device) to install.

Tweaks i made to the Yaml. I added an password to the AP. I changed the board type (this was the name my board got from home assistant when i flashed it before so i thought this is the right one, but i switched to flashing through cmd because i couldn't find out how to add the framesize files etc. to the homeassistant installation method.

Wifi SSD and password in string.

My Yaml:

Version 2.1

substitutions:

Unique device ID in HA

deviceid: "mhi_ac_ctrl"

Unique device name in HA

devicename: "MHI-AC-Ctrl"

esphome: name: ${deviceid} friendly_name: ${devicename} platform: ESP8266 board: esp01_1m platformio_options:

Run CPU at 160Mhz to fix mhi_ac_ctrl_core.loop error: -2

board_build.f_cpu: 160000000L

includes:

packages:

Comment if you encounter mhi_ac_ctrl_core.loop error: -2 errors and uncomment the legacy_framesize file

mhi-ac-ctrl: !include conf/large_framesize.yaml

Uncomment this to allow for a working configuration on floor units or older units

mhi-ac-ctrl: !include conf/legacy_framesize.yaml

wifi: ssid: "Deco-wifi-42" password: "Tracker!X"

Hope somebody here can help me troubleshoot this issue :). Don't know how to proceed and it's kind of frustrating to be stuck.

Thanks for developing this integration by the way :)

The device is still connected to my computer, at the moment.

You need to connect it to the AC. The error indicates it has trouble communicating with the airconditioner. Connect it up and the error should go away.

connected it. But now i get this:

C:\Users\knobb\Downloads\MHI-AC-Ctrl-ESPHome-master\MHI-AC-Ctrl-ESPHome-master>esphome logs lr_mhi_ac_ctrl.yaml INFO ESPHome 2024.5.0 INFO Reading configuration lr_mhi_ac_ctrl.yaml... WARNING 'mhi_acctrl': Using the '' (underscore) character in the hostname is discouraged as it can cause problems with some DHCP and local name services. For more information, see https://esphome.io/guides/faq.html#why-shouldn-t-i-use-underscores-in-my-device-name INFO Starting log output from mhi_ac_ctrl.local using esphome API WARNING Can't connect to ESPHome API for mhi_ac_ctrl.local: Error resolving IP address: [Errno 11001] getaddrinfo failed (APIConnectionError) INFO Trying to connect to mhi_ac_ctrl.local in the background

So it doesn't seem online? The wifi password and name are in "string" quotes. Is that an issue?
