Homekit controller drops connection to Netatmo Weather station

[Bothygesen]

The problem

Hi, The connection between my Netatmo Weather station and Homekit is dropped 2-3 times per day. It only start to work again when restarting the Netatmo Weather station main unit.

When the connection to homekit is lost, the Netatmo weather station still works via the netatmo app.

This has been an ongoing issue for more than a month.

It looks like the device is closing the connection as soon as it attempts to verify the pairing

Yes, the ip is correct. And also for the update to 2024.9.0 everything works fine

[makah21803]

I have the same issue, is there a solution yet?

[Bothygesen]

Hello all, Anyone has any idea how we can get this sorted?

Is it an issue on HA side or Netatmo side?

It has been quite a while now...

/Bo Thygesen

[Jc2k]

This seems to be specific to Netatmo. I don't have one, and my homekit devices have been working fine this entire time. So i'm not able to help.

It would be good if you could also provide logs as requested in the ticket template and by bdraco. See https://www.home-assistant.io/docs/configuration/troubleshooting/#debug-logs-and-diagnostics.

From the logs we do have, it looks like the device is non responsive on its homekit port. The netatmo app won't be using the homekit protocol, so that the fact that it works is not useful from a diagnostic point of view.

Getting logs before, during and after power cycling the netatmo device might be useful. (I want to see if it gives a useful error even once before getting stuck, or if we make a particular API call that causes it to get stuck).

[Bothygesen]

Hi, thank you for your response and the effort and time you put into this. Highly appreciated...

I have attached 3 logs.

01 While the Netatmo devices did not work/ respond and i get the following error message when reloading the integration in HA.

02 While the Netatmo devices did not work/ respond and i get the error message above when reloading the integration in HA. I then power the main Netatmo weather unit off and on again (only way to make the Netatmo devices work again in HA is to restart the main module by unplugging it from electricity) after which i can reload the integration successfully.

03 The Netatmo integration works and i reload it.

Thank you again Bo Thygesen

[bdraco]

Which version of aiohappyeyeballs do you have installed?

[bdraco]

docker exec -it homeassistant /bin/bash
pip3 show aiohappyeyeballs

[bdraco]

Might also try moving sock.setsockopt(socket.SOL_SOCKET, socket.SO_KEEPALIVE, 1) to the end of the function or turning it off

[Bothygesen]

Hi again, Not sure about the happy eye ball thingy.... How can i find that info?

I am running HA on a HA Green and with all latest updates installed...

We probably need to add some more logging as well as its not clear whats going on.

The device seems to be dropping the connections right away for some reason

[bdraco]

It also looks like the lib reties too soon, and we don't log the failure exception

Can you try https://github.com/Jc2k/aiohomekit/pull/381 and see if you get a better error?

[Bothygesen]

Hi, not sure exactly what it is that you are asking me to do and how i will do it.

If you tell me in laymans terms what is needed i will do it..

Thx Bo
