Frequently "not available" error since some days (HA update 2022.10?)

[klaus1956]

Hello
I ran the intergartion some months now w/o problems on a modified timedelta of 20 seconds instead of the original 60 seconds. More or less since the HA-update to 2022.10 I got frequently not available errors . Even after re-adjusting timedelta to 60 secondes the measurement data are not available for more than 50% of the time.

PV-Car charging is not possible under these conditions :(

Has anyone else the same issue?

I have exactly the same issues... now i just added a cronjob to home assitant that it will be automaticall restarted every night .....But the root cause is on the addon i am pretty sure

Meanwhile I have the feeling that this is somehow linked to a fragile network cable connection.
In-between I had some days w/o any problem and today I had the failure mode again.

Could you share the logs and detailed error messages you get? You should have something if the sensors are not available?

I do not experience any problems even with latest HA, so it's hard for me to judge.

I'm having the same issue here. Since a few HA updates, the integration says "not available".
Removing and re-adding the integration does not work. Only restarting Home Assistant fixes the issue.

Where can I find some debug logouts which could help to find the source of the problem?

lately it seems to be more stable again. I'm on the current HA 2023.3.6 version.

I am currently getting the same issue in the version 2023.8.1.
The logs show:

For me the problem seems to be solved locally.
My SENEC is connected to a WiFi-Access point and after improving the WiFi in general and changing the AP from a Fritz!box 7490 to a Fritz!Repeater 3000 things seem to work smooth.

I have no issues with the integration running the latest HA Version 2023.8.3

Running like a charm (except that the battery is again in 70% conditioning mode 😢 )

Anyone an idea how to validate the issue? Looks for me, that the response of the API Call returns an unexpected character. Does anyone knows the exact API call?

[xibix-fp]

@klaus1956 Why did you closed this issue? Looks like the problem does still exist?

[klaus1956]

I think I opened it due to a specific issue (on my side) which is solved
But if there is still a need I reopen it
