Gree integration - devices become unavailable but not on the native app

See original GitHub issue

The problem

Gree devices often become unavailable and unreachable, however the same devices appear fine on the native Gree app. It happens randomly and on different devices.

For some reasons it seems the app has the capability to still find them while the integration doesn’t.

Note: both HA and devices are on the same VLAN

Is it possible to add support for adding gree devices by entering manual IP instead of discovery? The discovery doesn’t work for me and I have no option but to use the custom integration of gree (which works with manual IP) instead of the built-in integration.

2022.8.2 completely broke the Gree integration after pulling #75812

My HA VM has 2 interfaces, a primary for most communications and a secondary in the IOT VLAN for some limited purpose communications, one being the stupid broadcast implementation of Gree. As soon as I upgraded to 2022.8.2 all 6 aircos went unavailable. Rolling back to 2022.8.1 brought them back to life. Tried the upgrade again to see if it’s consistently breaking it, it does.

So if people will have the same issue: I went to Settings, System. Network, unchecked auto-configure and there, end enabled both interfaces manually. Then the integration works again.
