Xiaomi Miio and Smartmi Fan 2 (zhimi.fan.za3) not responding intermittently

The problem

Xiaomi Smartmi Fan 2 sets up properly using the GUI, then swiftly becomes unavailable and unable to be controlled. It pops back up intermittently for brief periods and can be controlled, then goes offline again. Other apps can control it just fine, so there is something going on with this integration and this fan.

Edit: I should mention I am running HA in Docker. @syssi suspected this might have something to do with it, although other users below are not and still have problems.

Additional information

Some notes that may be of use:

• my device is on the same VLAN
• Wi-Fi reliability and signal are great
• the unofficial integration still works
• the Mi app still works
• the Homebridge fan plugin still works
• the python-miio CLI is able to read the fan
• the fan device screen displays the UniFi logo rather than the Mi logo after initial setup, probably because I have a UDM Pro and the UniFi Network integration enabled

According to python-miio:

Model: zhimi.fan.za3 Hardware version: esp32 Firmware version: 2.0.2

I’m also experiencing this issue with my Home Assistant setup as per the below and am happy to configure any additional environments to help debug the issue further.

@syssi Just let me know how I can help, I am familiar with Home Assistant, Docker and Linux systems so can get you what you need quickly to progress this issue.

Configuration

• Home Assistant 2022.11.1
• Running on Docker (Not HassOS)
• Using official Xiaomi Miio Intergration (not the custom one)
• The Official Application works perfectly without issues
• I have another fan of a different model (Xiaomi Miio: Mi Smart Standing Fan 1X) that does not have these issues and is rock solid.

Log Data I can trigger this when the fan is toggled from on to off, it quickly goes into an unavailable state shortly after, then it comes and goes for quite some time.

Logger: homeassistant.components.xiaomi_miio
Source: helpers/update_coordinator.py:151
Integration: Xiaomi Miio (documentation, issues)
First occurred: 1:45:07 PM (5 occurrences)
Last logged: 1:53:05 PM

Timeout fetching Smartmi Standing Fan 2S data

Let me know how I can help, this Fan has been flakey for quite some time, would love to get it stable !

Additional Log Data I’ve configured logging for the component using the following configuration

logger:
  default: info
  logs:
    homeassistant.components.xiaomi_miio: debug

I’ve then generated the attached log data for your reference. From what I can see, there are long delays in the current status of the fan occurring, resulting in timeouts. You’ll see in the logs the other fan I have working correctly, and you can ignore the vacuum messages, this all works fine, it’s just offline at the moment.
