Unable to retrieve token/key through discovery

[rtblair]

Describe The Bug:

When I use the UI Configuration screen to discover IDs, tokens, and other attributes for air conditioners, the token/key column does not populate and shows as "token missing key missing". Same result whether the "Use default Midea SmartHome profile" is toggled on, or off with my valid username and password.

To Reproduce:

• Fill in username and password under "discover devices"
• Click discover all devices

Expected behavior:

Table should populate with tokens and keys, but it does not.

Plugin Config:

Note that this is sparse because the failure is happening before I can get the info necessary to configure the plugin.

Hm yeah, it's indeed hard to debug this using this much information.

Are these devices added to a SmartHome (or any other) account?

[kovapatrik]

If you have btw, can you turn on debug logs inside your Homebridge instance? There might be some other logs as well while the discovery is running.

Thanks @kovapatrik

They are added to a Midea SmartHome account, but nothing else.

I do have debug logs running. Will check them when I am back on site.

From your logs, I thought it was disabled as there should be more logs in debug mode., but please do that recheck! You might also try to see if there are any errors in the developer tools console tab (in case you are using Safari, you can enable this menu using this guide: https://support.apple.com/en-gb/guide/safari/sfri20948/mac)
