try extending your logging like this, maybe there is some useful info:

logger:
  default: info
  logs:
    homeassistant.components.ads: debug
    custom_components.ads: debug

Are you absolutely sure the connection is happening?

Thanks for your response: The connection is definitely open. I can read the values of sensor, switch and light types

But when i want to write a switch or a light following error occurs: 2024-09-07 14:27:03.655 ERROR (SyncWorker_5) [homeassistant.components.ads] Error writing GVL.M_Licht_Aussen_Grill: ADSError: Unknown Error (-1). Unfortunately there aren't any other errors in the log.

Tried to reproduce it with my live system (rpi4), but looks good to me...

Core 2024.8.3
Supervisor 2024.08.0
Operating System 13.1
Frontend 20240809.0

Also, on dev version, no issues (macmini 2014).

Core 2024.10.0.dev0
Frontend 20240904.0

my home assistant is running on a lenovo nuc with following versions:

Core 2024.9.1 Supervisor 2024.08.0 Operating System 13.1 Frontend 20240906.0

my configuration.yaml

i also tried to trigger the action via the developer tools:

I've tried with and without the prefix GVL

Unfortunately I don't know how to debug the service.

Somehow it's like it is loosing its connection and never tries to reconnect again. 3 days ego, I restarted my home assistant the last time. My temperature value has been read the last time 3 days ago and never got updated again.

Via the node-red-ads plugin it's working. BUt i would prefer the original ads integration, because it is far easier to handle

Looks like related to the issue here: https://github.com/home-assistant/core/issues/99258 The PR might fix it: https://github.com/home-assistant/core/pull/119521

This would be great, if it can be fixed.

Converting to MQTT is not an option for me, because then I would have to buy an expensive licence from Beckhoff, only for communicating with home assistant.

Thanks for looking into my problem
