Water Heater Leak Shutoff Valve Sensor Showing Closed instead of Open about core HOT 7 OPEN

Hey there @w1ll1am23, mind taking a look at this issue as it has been labeled with an integration (econet) you are listed as a code owner for? Thanks!

from core.

So the backing library for this does a check for if the @VALVE value is set to "0" to indicate if its open.

The HA code returns true for the binary sensor state if the library says its open. So I think this is working correctly? Could be the API has changed. Unfortunately I don't have a way to test this anymore.

@izzletodasmizzle if you enable debug logging for pyeconet in your config and provide those here (remove any personal info) we should be able to confirm if something changes.

Side note @izzletodasmizzle if you aren't aware there is a fully local control esphome project for water heaters that would let you move off of this integration.

Mine is also on CLOSED (even though its open). I spilled some water on the sensor to trigger an ALARM. Rheem valved closed as expected but Homeassistant did not change at all. New HA user running:
Core
2024.4.4
Supervisor
2024.04.0
Operating System
12.2
Frontend
20240404.2

Since I am all new to this I can't comment whether is worked in other versions.

I'm not sure that the status reported by the cloud integration is to be trusted. For instance for me, the running sensor or running state via the econet integration would frequently say that it's running (matches the status from the Rheem app). However, the waterheater itself, or the status obtained from esphome-econet via the debug serial port would accurate reflect the running status (i.e. not running).

Also, the Shutoff Valve Sensor status also says Closed instead of Open for me in the integration.

Please note that the shutoff valve status reporting is not yet supported via esphome-econet.

Thanks for confirming. I ordered the required ESP items to just go with the locally hosted option in HA. Also good to know that the esphome integration doesn't currently work with the leak sensor.

I'm also having problems with the app / cloud integration not accurately updating the current State as you mentioned.
