Loosing Ability to use ESPSomfyRTS device through HA #246

Closed Coolbreeze68 closed 5 months ago

Hi,

Happy new year and thanks for this useful project !!

Actually Im facing an issue. At a certain amount of time Im loosing my Somfy buttons in HA, they are disabled.

The only way I found to enable them back is to untick and tick again "Publish discovery" and save.

Then my buttons are enabled again

I wonder if we could have a new param in the firmware to set to force send a Discovery message every x min ( like an heartbeat )

Or I might miss something I can do on my side.

Thx a lot

Christian

Update from Main using the Github update. The MQTT configuration is persistent in the upcoming version. Why MQTT-AD over the HACS component?

Coolbreeze68 commented 5 months ago

Tbh I didnt see that component exists :/. Looks like I cannot use HACS with HA Os. I'll give a try installing it manually. Thx a lot anyway

I use HACS with HAOS just fine.

If you do some searching there are a number of tutorials out there to get HACS on HAOS. It is pretty easy but it is a few steps.

Yeah I've done my searching and I could install it. Indeed it is better that way thank you.

HACS is a good option and the plugin supports many more features.
