Dyson Purifier Humidify Cool Formaldehyde (358K) not supported

[lucaquerella]

I've recently got a new Purifier Humidify Cool Formaldehyde, it doesn't work out of the box with this integration. I played around a little bit and discovered that it's due to the fact that the device device_type is 358K.

With the following hack, everything works great in HA.

def get_device(serial: str, credential: str, device_type: str):
    return DysonPurifierHumidifyCoolFormaldehyde(serial, credential, "358K") 

I wanted to let you know. Thanks for sharing this integration.

Thx @lucaquerella - can you let me know how the hack works (e.g. where to insert etc)? Again, thanks!

I´m also interested in this hack but didn´t found the way to add the lines of code you shared. Please share the destination, thank you in forward!

I'm having the same issue with device_type 438K (which is also not supported). Would love guidance on how to implement this hack.

[niemtec]

Yeah same here, interestingly 438E paired fine, but 438K did not.

I think he inserted/changed it somewhere in /config/custom_components/dyson_local

But I cannot find the same code as written above. There is something similar in config_flow.py starting in Line 207:

I tried to change CONST_DEVICE_TYPE in const.py to 358K and 358E (the 358E was reported by my Homebridge instance, tried this value aswell), but both were not working. @lucaquerella it would be aswesome if you could share some more details where we can find this code :)

Everyone! I found a solution, buried in this thread: https://github.com/shenxn/libdyson/pull/32#issuecomment-1399591550 @javemp wrote it, I followed it and now it's working: to get this working:

1. fully uninstall existing integration and restart ha
2. reinstall the integration from hacs (do not restart ha yet) and modify your manifest.json file to change: “requirements”: [“libdyson==0.8.11”] to: “requirements": ["git+https://github.com/jezzab/libdyson.git@main#libdyson==0.9.0"],
3. restart ha and install integration as per normal, you should now see purifier cool in the list of devices

huge thanks to @jezzab for his work

Yes that hack works. But you don't need to uninstall and reinstall. You just need to change that line in manifest.json and restart HA.

I also have the Dyson Purifier Humidify Cool Formaldehyde (358K) and can't connect it with this change either.

Unfortunately this integration is no longer maintained, but I've created a new fork and am actively working on the new Formaldehyde models. Have a look at #185 for more information, and let me know if you have any questions.

[lucaquerella]

Sorry for the late answer. The new fork completely solve this and other issues. great job @dotvezz.
