State is not refreshing about gree-hvac-mqtt-bridge HOT 4 OPEN

Hi, thanks for the report! The latest releases are very buggy because I hadn't had enough time to test them properly.

Can you describe the scenario in more detail?

1. "It works when I change stats". Using Hass.io, publishing directly to MQTT or with the AC remote?
2. "I'm not receiving any status updates at all". On the AC, MQTT server or Hass.io?

PS: I think this part of the readme does seem a bit confusing. I'll update it with the next release.

Hi,

I can help describing the scenario a bit more in detail:
Since the newest release it seems the AC doesn't broadcast its state after turning it on/setting fan mode/setting the temp/etc., as the climate control in Hassio remains empty. The control of the AC works just fine, just Hassio doesn't know about it. I'm using 0.93.2.

@arthurkrupa Sorry for delay:

I'm switching on the AC via: Google Home App (it's actually via Hass), Hass itself, Gree remote control, Gree+ App - it doesn't matter.

The temperature switch doesn't appear, but other switches are working as expected (changing AC mode or fan), but after it changes I see no change on the Hass.

I found out that when I restart Mosquitto broker, the MQTT server fetches the AC mode (and other stuff):
homeassistant/greehvac/mode/get

When I switch the mode I can see the log (when it's working!)

560634099: |-- aclcheck(homeassistant, homeassistant/greehvac/temperature/set, 2) CACHEDAUTH: 0
(...)
1560634101: |-- aclcheck(homeassistant, homeassistant/greehvac/temperature/get, 1) CACHEDAUTH: 0

And when it doesn't work I can see only homeassistant/greehvac/mode/set without get call so that must be the case.

Sorry for the chaotic comment, but I made above steps one by one and it surprisingly worked after MQTT restart.

I think you should add get method running periodically to "pick up" the state's changing on AC itself.

Let me know what I can check for you :) Thanks for the help!

And that how it looks inside Hass when it's working and when it doesn't.
