new version released, looking for some folks to test.

Please manually update both this and the lib plugin from GitHub versions.

For the units you're having issues with, is the firmware version something like ~"PW1R420_210422f" or ~"v1.9.0_srac" format? It appears they've got at least two (and I bet many more) branches of the IoT side. The 1.9.0 is the brand new units.

@karlg100 regarding the firmware... the official app is telling me all my units are on revision v5.2.1rc1.

Most of my unit models are FGRC064WA100.

I just checked what the API thinks the firmware is in HB, and it's reporting 2.1.0 for all AC units. EDIT: Realize this is just a pass-through of the plugin version. Updated tonight and now it's 2.1.2. Where/how are you identifying your units' firmware revisions?

Do you think my problems stem from old firmware? Is there even a way to update the firmware?

I'll update to the latest release and run it for a while, without using the iOS app at all, and report back.

So, right at this very moment, everything seems to be working fine. Frigidaire App changes are reflected in Home app (after ~<10 seconds, which is the default polling interval on the HB plugin).

And vice versa - updates on the HB app get to the Frigidaire App.

And physically changing settings using the buttons also update in all places.

Really the big change that I made is reducing the number of calls to the Frigidaire services. It may be that if two calls come in at the same time, it has issues. Reducing this just reduces the chances this occurs.

For updating your firmware, it's all done by Frigidaire. I bet there are a large number of hardware revisions floating out there (and therefore firmwares) and if there are bugs (like my wifi problem) it's going to be hit/miss with issues like this.

Hopefully updating this plugin in HB will just make things better for your stuff.

The version number in HB is the version of the plugin, not the hardware. Look in the Frigidaire app to see the hardware version number.
