Sorry, I no longer use home assistant.

Just reinstalled HA on a vm and I can't replicate the error, works out of the box for me.

I'll run it for a few hours and see what pops up in the logs

[MrSleeps]

It's been running for over an hour and I haven't received a single error in my logs related to the integration , everything is running as it should be.. I've tried everything I can think of, even powering down the Juwel Controller but aside from the unreachable error it doesn't throw up anything else..

So sadly, unless you can provide a full debug log for me to have a butchers at there's not a huge amount I can do, totally unable to replicate the error..

Have you tried restarting HA?

Sorry!

On a side note, have found an error where the stats don't seem to show up after the controller loses power..

This is a random thing, works for days or stop working after few hours, i cant tell you why, too.

Anyway i found a solution for myself:

  - platform: command_line
    name: Helialux Profile
    unique_id: helialux_profile
    command: curl http://192.168.99.197/statusvars.js | awk -F \; '{print $6}' | cut -d '=' -f2 | sed "s@'@@g"

  - platform: command_line
    name: Helialux White
    unique_id: helialux_white
    unit_of_measurement: "%"
    command: curl http://192.168.99.197/statusvars.js | awk -F \; '{print $10}' | cut -d '=' -f2 | cut -d ',' -f1 | sed "s@\[@@g" | sed "s@\]@@g"
  
  - platform: command_line
    name: Helialux Red
    unique_id: helialux_red
    unit_of_measurement: "%"
    command: curl http://192.168.99.197/statusvars.js | awk -F \; '{print $10}' | cut -d '=' -f2 | cut -d ',' -f4 | sed "s@\[@@g" | sed "s@\]@@g"
  
  - platform: command_line
    name: Helialux Green
    unique_id: helialux_green
    unit_of_measurement: "%"
    command: curl http://192.168.99.197/statusvars.js | awk -F \; '{print $10}' | cut -d '=' -f2 | cut -d ',' -f3 | sed "s@\[@@g" | sed "s@\]@@g"
  
  - platform: command_line
    name: Helialux Blue
    unique_id: helialux_blue
    unit_of_measurement: "%"
    command: curl http://192.168.99.197/statusvars.js | awk -F \; '{print $10}' | cut -d '=' -f2 | cut -d ',' -f2 | sed "s@\[@@g" | sed "s@\]@@g"

Its dirty bash/curl mix but works fine for me and because i only what to read its totally enough

[MrSleeps]

Have pushed an update, should be available in HACS shortly.. I think the error might be down to timeouts/offline (again, couldn't replicate anything).

Feel free to give it a try and open a new issue if the problem still exists.

I'll be reinstalling HA at some point so I should be able to debug things easier.. Moving house sucks.

I had this issue all the time and no data. Noticed that I had firmware 1.0 in Helialux smart control. When I updated the firmware to the latest (ver 2.2.2) it all started to work.

[MrSleeps]

Ahh that's interesting, thanks for that info.. Mine is v2.1, the information it provides is probably different between v1 and v2..

I'll add that to the readme :)

Version 2 is a complete overhaul of the software, version 1 was a nightmare.
