Hey there @mvn23, mind taking a look at this issue as its been labeled with a integration (opentherm_gw
) you are listed as a codeowner for? Thanks!
Please use the issue template that was presented when creating the issue. Could you please adjust your opening post to contain it? Thanks! 👍
I have changed the opening post. Yesterday the OTGW worked for 13 minutes before losing the connection. I have set the logger to debug for OT:
logger:
default: info
logs:
homeassistant.components.opentherm_gw: debug
But it doesn't seem to add any relevant log entries.
Please try enabling debug logging for the following components as well:
pyotgw.pyotgw
pyotgw.protocol
This will help determine whether or not the automatic reconnect system is performing as it should. Also, please post a full debug log (apart from passwords/private urls) and leave the determination of relevancy up to us/me. Please use a service like pastebin/hastebin to avoid polluting the thread here. Apart from that, random timeouts normally indicate connection issues, but the library should automatically reconnect in such cases. The debug log should indicate why that's not working for you.
Two days ago I changed some settings of my Pi-hole since my Chromecasts didn't show up anymore. I disabled the "Never forward non-FQDNs" and "Never forward reverse lookups for private IP ranges" settings and the OWGW is alive 48 hours going strong, so it seems like this also fixed the OTGW issues.
I have the same issue here for several days now (since the day I started to use the integration). I am not using a Pi-hole, but I don't see how the internet-connection affects the workings of the communication between one local device to another?
Als just calling the service opentherm_gw/reset_gateway does not fix the issue; I can only workaround it by restarting HA. (call homeassistant.restart)
I did enable it just a moment ago and will keep you updated.
For what it's worth; I started using my OTGW and the opentherm_gw component a few days ago. It works without the issue mentioned above. I use an Wemo D1 Mini with ESP 2.x mega-20191208 firmware and Serial Server defined. OTGW using Firmware OpenTherm Gateway 4.2.5 socket://192.168.x.y:3210 as connect string, if that's of any help.
BTW is seems this component cannot be used with yaml, you have to use GUI to enable the entities, which is has a lot of, very tidious to enable/disable over 40 of them. Any plans to add yaml support back for the sensors, binary_sensors?
Ah, I think I might try ESP 2.x mega-20191208 to find out if that might do the trick.
However: when using OTMonitor instead of the HA integration the information is flowing in constantly, at least for several days.
What I think is happening is that it measures the data, but only sometimes. And it does not hold the data. When it crashes, it holds the most recent measurements. I did want to make a screenshot to accompany this message, and it seems that it has crashed again a few minutes ago. I will check the logs soon.
Wat people at the Dutch Tweakers Home Assistant forum are telling is that they just use MQTT to make the OTGW work with HA. What I do think why this is working and why they don't see the crippled data is because their HA only reads the last value from MQTT, so they never have a 'no value' situation.
What I think is happening is that it measures the data, but only sometimes. And it does not hold the data. When it crashes, it holds the most recent measurements.
What the integration does is quite similar to how MQTT would report the data. It listens for any changes to the various parameters on the OpenTherm connection and informs the sensors in HA of any changes. MQTT would also only send a message when otmonitor sends an update. May I ask what you used to get the screenshot you provided? In my HA history view it does not show the separate measurements.

No plans for that, no. The idea is that most people only need a few sensors (if any) and you'll only need to configure them once. I do agree that the interface to enable/disable entities could use some improvement, but that's not an opentherm_gw issue.

The issue I had is that to find out which of the values are supported by my boiler, I had to enable them all first, and them choose which ones are useful. And that is a lot of clicking, a multi-select or enable all option in GUI would be helpful indeed, so no component issue. Or alternatively implement an integration option 'disable all by default'. True/False?
After enabling debug logging I am seeing something of which I think that should not be there; a lot of watchdog resets. Is that normal?

Is that normal?
Yes.
home-assistant.zip Hereby the full log I grabbed yesterday. Only my domain name has been replaced.
Thanks for the log. "Unfortunately", everything looks OK from here. The last update is logged <30 seconds before the end of the log. Did the issue occur while you were capturing this log? If not, can you try to capture when it does happen?
I enable and checked my pyotgw.protocol log and also see a lot of 'Watchdog reset' entries. I guess it means a 'watchdog alive' signal, instead of a watchdog reboot, right? If so maybe good to rename it to 'Watchdog timer reset' so it's less scary... :sweat_smile:
The last correct measurement seem to have been around 20:42. The log is based on a copy that I made at a random moment later that evening.
Nothing strange around that time either. The connection to the gateway seems to remain intact, so the problem must lie elsewhere. Any chance you can provide a debug log of all HA (core/opentherm_gw) modules as well when the problem occurs?
There hasn't been any activity on this issue recently. Due to the high number of incoming GitHub notifications, we have to clean some of the old issues, as many of them have already been resolved with the latest updates. Please make sure to update to the latest Home Assistant version and check if that solves the issue. Let us know if that works for you by adding a comment 👍 This issue now has been marked as stale and will be closed if no further activity occurs. Thank you for your contributions.
Home Assistant release with the issue: Home Assistant 0.103.0
Last working Home Assistant release (if known): Unknown
Operating environment (Hass.io/Docker/Windows/etc.): Running Hass.io (supervisor 192) on an x64 Debian server
Integration: OTGW
Description of problem: When the server starts I get a few errors (Timed out waiting for command) but the integration works without problems. However after a few hours (last time lasted 3,5 hours) the updates stop coming in and the connection no longer works. After a restart of Home Assistant it all works again for a few hours, so it seems it doesn't try to reconnect without a restart of HA.
Problem-relevant
configuration.yaml
entries and (fill out even if it seems unimportant):Traceback (if applicable):
These are the only errors mentioning OTGW or thermostat
Additional information: The OTGW itself is a wifi version with a NodeMCU from nodo-shop. The wifi is an Unifi setup so it should be stable enough and the NodeMCU is close to an AP so wifi should be fine
