Home Connect not updating states properly

See original GitHub issue

The problem

I am using core integration Home Connect with my Bosch Dryer. Issue is - when dryer goes off, so does wifi. However state of some entities remain. For instance door state, remaining program time, etc. Which makes it difficult to use states in automations. When I open Home Connect app on my android phone, it reports correctly that it could not connect to the device. Thus I would expect entities to become unavailable for instance, and not remember the last state, or time since program finished.

At this moment, dryer is turned off (wifi off), yet it shows power as “on”. In addition, entitities like “Duration” or “Program Progress” are never available.

What version of Home Assistant Core has the issue?

core-2022.2.3

Unfortunately this is becoming a common theme across HA, integrations go into CORE then the original maintainers don’t have time to maintain or they no longer have the item in their homes to help update. I have two different integrations in this state currently. I am currently looking at the Home Connect integration in Node-Red now.

So what? There have already been several merged PRs by several different contributors this year as you can check here. It’s perfectly alive and well. I developed this integration in my free time, now others are improving it. That’s how open source works.

Can anyone actually look into integration and fix it, or is this thread only about summarizing issues? Basically, it is useless. I can’t build any automation based on reported states.
