HomeKit Noise Sensor is not updated (Netatmo Healthy Home Coach)

[FinemechanicPub]

The problem

HomeKit Noise sensor is never updated. The support for the noise sensor was added with PR 80889, but apparently it was not a complete solution. The displayed value is never updated, although data is received as seen in diagnostic data and also in debug logs (iid 21):

2024-06-13 16:35:31.007 DEBUG (MainThread) [aiohomekit.controller.ip.connection] 192.168.1.45: raw response: bytearray(b'{"characteristics":[{"aid":1,"iid":8,"value":1},{"aid":1,"iid":12,"value":517.0},{"aid":1,"iid":15,"value":60.0},{"aid":1,"iid":18,"value":25.3},{"aid":1,"iid":21,"value":55}]}')

Which iid is the noise in that log entry? Can you show log entries of it changing?

[FinemechanicPub]

The iid is 21. Here is the log (after I turned off TV):

2024-06-13 17:47:31.292 DEBUG (MainThread) [aiohomekit.controller.ip.connection] 192.168.1.45: raw response: bytearray(b'{"characteristics":[{"aid":1,"iid":8,"value":1},{"aid":1,"iid":12,"value":498.0},{"aid":1,"iid":15,"value":59.0},{"aid":1,"iid":18,"value":25.0},{"aid":1,"iid":21,"value":32}]}')

Please also check the attached diagnostic file. I'm not sure, but I think in the lines 354 ("value": 56,) and 501 ("state": "37",) value and state should match.

[Jc2k]

How often do you see that iid? Does it ever change?

[Jc2k]

Those 2 values should not generally match, thought might by coincidence. We only update the schema data at pairing or on certain events like firmware updates. Some values are incidentally captured then, but they will be stale.

[FinemechanicPub]

How often do you see that iid? Does it ever change?

I'm not sure I understand the question. I quoted two log entries (one in the issue description and one in the comment above); both have iid 21 and the value definitely changed. The value in the user interface have never changed since the start of the integration.

What shall I do to collect additional data?

[Jc2k]

Sorry I'm on my phone so partial log fragments over multiple messages are a bit hard to piece back together.

So far I think I've only seen poll results. Was expecting to see push notifications. Can you post a more complete log, rather than just one line at a time.

[FinemechanicPub]

Here is the log taken after two debug sessions. ha_log.txt

[FinemechanicPub]

@Jc2k I have restarted HA and the problem has gone. I still don't understand why I had the problem with the noise sensor while other sensors on the same HHC device worked perfectly from the start. Anyway, thank you for cooperation.

Is it responding to noise in near real time now?

[FinemechanicPub]

Is it responding to noise in near real time now?

It has a delay of about 3 minutes. I'm attaching another log. It starts at the moment I switched on a noise source. I noticed that there are new log entries "[aiohomekit.controller.abstract] callback ev" which I didn't see previously. May it be so, that all other sensors are updated with request-response (polling), and there is a bug preventing noise sensor to do the same (it only updates when the callback is triggered)? ha_log2.txt
