Frozen sensors when disconnnected #5

Closed tombartosz closed 1 year ago

tombartosz commented 1 year ago

Feature request: As a user I would like to have information if bridge is connected or not. Now if I disconnect power from ventilation unit all sensors shows last state in HA. I have some automatons based on i.e temperature sensors (it provides input for central heating, also I'm using it when i want to check outside temperature) - so it gives false readings. I would expect to have sensor that shows connnected (I'll use it in automations for "failover mode" ) or to make sensors "unavailable".

Best Regards, Bartosz

P.S This comfoconnect stuff is really good job. I'm using it since 2019 and it works quite reliable. Thanks.

I've just created such feature. Check my fork: https://github.com/tombartosz/home-assistant-comfoconnect

This change in the library allows us to properly detect an unreachable bridge: https://github.com/michaelarnauts/aiocomfoconnect/pull/5

There are still changes needed in this integration to mark sensors as unavailable though.
