Adding device Anel Net-PwrCtrl fails silently

Configuration
1

I’m trying to add Anel NET-PwrCtrl - Home Assistant but nothing is happening.
Nothing in the logs and no device added. The only thing that might be relevant is that my Anel device is an “Advanced” not a “Hut”. But I still wonder why there is nothing in the logs as well.

In the configuration.yaml I have (address, username, password have valid entries)

default_config:

switch:
  - platform: anel_pwrctrl
    host: *address*
    port_recv: 75
    port_send: 77
    username: *username*
    password: *password*

Kind of solved:

  • The integration only works with the device firmware 6.x (and maybe earlier) not with the newer or more parallel firmware 7.x

  • when it works you don’t get a new integration but the number of switches the device has will be added to the entities (and automatically to the default dashboard).
