Latest update broke waste drawer functionality

[bentongarrett]

The newest available integration broke the waste drawer percentage indicator. Reverting to the old version fixed it.

[natekspencer]

@bentongarrett can you provide some more detail into what "broke"? Did it show unavailable? Stop updating? Or? Also what version of Home Assistant are you running? A screenshot and/or any relevant error logs would be helpful too.

@natekspencer I'm seeing the same (no waste drawer sensor), even using the core integration version-

It looks like you might have an old version of pylitterbot installed still. Can you run the following from within your home assistant environment:

python3 -m pip freeze | grep pylitterbot

It should output pylitterbot==2021.8.0

If it doesn't, try running:

python3 -m pip install pylitterbot --upgrade

You'll then need to restart your Home Assistant server

[tybritten]

hmm. i'm running in HASSIO core-2021.8.8 and using the built in version of litterrobot

[tybritten]

i ran an ha core rebuild and that fixed it.

[bentongarrett]

The sensor shows "Unavailable" on the newest version of the Litter Robot integration. I am running the latest version of Home Assistant in Docker as indicated here: https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-homeassistant/pkgs/container/homeassistant

The output of python3 -m pip freeze | grep pylitterbot is:

WARNING: The directory '/config/.cache/pip' or its parent directory is not owned or is not writable by the current user. The cache has been disabled. Check the permissions and owner of that directory. If executing pip with sudo, you may want sudo's -H flag. pylitterbot==2021.8.1

The warning is odd. There is no .cache/pip in my config directory.

The Docker version of HA does not appear to use the ha command, so I can't try the rebuild.

[bentongarrett]

I manually created this folder and the error is no longer present, but the integration is still exhibiting the same behavior.

[bentongarrett]

[natekspencer]

@bentongarrett, you might need to execute the pip commands inside your docker container. To do that, you have to bash into it first, something like below where homeassistant is the name of your docker image: sudo docker exec -it homeassistant bash

[bentongarrett]

Yes, I did execute them within the container.

[bentongarrett]

While the Litter Robot shows unavailable and there is no longer a waste drawer sensor entity, I am oddly able to successfully send the command to run a cleaning cycle. Very odd.

[bentongarrett]

Sorry for the lack of a scientific method here, but here's what I need to do to get everything working again (waste drawer sensor + available Litter Robot entity):

-Downgrade to an older Home Assistant version (I was on the latest, but downgraded to 2021.4.4) -Downgrade to the previous Litter Robot integration

So it seems there is some bad interaction between newer versions of Home Assistant and the newest version of the Litter Robot integration.

It should also be noted that another one of my custom integrations, for a Eufy robot vacuum, also fails to work in the newer versions of Home Assistant.

[natekspencer]

Did you upgrade after downgrading or are you still running on the downgraded versions?

Also, for background, did you previously have this HACS version installed and now only have the official version?

[bentongarrett]

I've done upgrades and downgrades of HA and the integration in all different orders. I've narrowed it down to something between HA version 8.0+ and either LR 2021.8.0 or 2021.2.3 (both don't work and I haven't tried older versions).

The latest functioning combination for me is HA 7.4 and LR 2021.2.3.

I have only ever used the HACS version of this integration.

[bentongarrett]

I've been a complete idiot. I made the mistake of not reading the readme.

I uninstalled the HACS version and installed the official version. Works perfectly on the latest HA.

So sorry for the trouble, but thanks for helping out.
