Continuous Updates from Roomba, should be periodic

Hello,

Even if I put only continuous: false,
the light stays on.

Hello everyone

same problem here
i have roomba e5 and leds stays on.

Hi, everyone,
New version of roombapy library already released.
Version 1.4.3 already have fix for periodic update. I believe HA 0.107 already has this fix.

How it works now.
in configuration you have:

continuous: False,
delay: 600
  1. library connects to roomba
  2. hold connection for 10sec (this value hardcoded)
  3. disconnects
  4. wait 600sec (10min)
  5. go to first step

Be aware! After disconnection roomba will not turn off the led immediately, it will be turned off after some time (min or couple I suppose). So if you put very short delay, the led will be always on.

Receiving the following error in 0.107.7 with roombapy 1.4.3

Error while setting up roomba platform for vacuum
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/srv/homeassistant/lib/python3.7/site-packages/homeassistant/helpers/entity_platform.py", line 179, in _async_setup_platform

Removing the additions for custom delay from pull request 28560 in the Roomba component return functionality. Is the component ahead of the python package?

Just updated t version 0.107.0, works fine.
I don’t know what could be wrong, I will show how constructors should looks like,

file vacuum.py in HA, should looks like this:

    host = config.get(CONF_HOST)
    name = config.get(CONF_NAME)
    username = config.get(CONF_USERNAME)
    password = config.get(CONF_PASSWORD)
    certificate = config.get(CONF_CERT)
    continuous = config.get(CONF_CONTINUOUS)
    delay = config.get(CONF_DELAY)

    roomba = Roomba(
        address=host,
        blid=username,
        password=password,
        cert_name=certificate,
        continuous=continuous,
        delay=delay,
    )
    _LOGGER.debug("Initializing communication with host %s", host)

If you don’t set delay in configuration, DEFAULT_DELAY will be used.
For that constructor controller the library should have this constructor:

    def __init__(
        self,
        address=None,
        blid=None,
        password=None,
        topic="#",
        continuous=True,
        delay=1,
        cert_name=None,
        roombaName=""
    ):

In your situation, one of this part could look different, if so this is cause of the problem.

I added in the delay: 600 and my led is no longer on. I am also no longer seeing the disconnect and connect in the logs.

thanks

I also added a delay of 600:

But in the log the connection is still made every 6 seconds:
