E-sim support?

maurizio53 · November 3, 2022, 8:17pm

I am noticing there is no support for my e-sim between the sensors of the android mobile app. Or am I wrong?

tmjpugh · November 3, 2022, 11:34pm

Not sure about android but IOS shows both my sim E and normal as part of device stats

dshokouhi · November 4, 2022, 3:02pm

My esim shows up fine

maurizio53 · November 4, 2022, 4:30pm

Here it is what my home companion shows about SIM on my s22 ultra.

I have only the first slot occupied by a SIM. The second one is empty.
Where is my ESIM?

dshokouhi · November 4, 2022, 4:35pm

Not sure but I use Google Fi which only has an esim and it works just fine. Might be a carrier specific issue

tmjpugh · November 4, 2022, 4:51pm

Maybe phone specific

What model?

dshokouhi · November 4, 2022, 4:59pm

there may also be an error in the companion app logs too

maurizio53 · November 4, 2022, 5:05pm

Where to find the logs?

dshokouhi · November 4, 2022, 5:06pm

Settings > Companion App > show and share logs

maurizio53 · November 4, 2022, 5:35pm

There is no entry in the logs regarding the SIM… maybe a phone related issue…

maurizio53 · November 4, 2022, 5:36pm

Samsung s22 Ultra

I also have an S22 Ultra. In the SIM slot it shows Belong which is correct. In the eSIM slot where I have a Telstra eSIM in place the app shows “Unavailable”.

maurizio53 · February 7, 2023, 5:25pm

Yes, same problem here…

dshokouhi · February 7, 2023, 6:15pm

strange I have Google Fi which uses an e-sim and it is showing up as expected

are both SIMs considered active? It looks like we will not get data if the SIM is not active.

maurizio53 · February 7, 2023, 7:30pm

Yes, on my side are both active

dshokouhi · February 7, 2023, 7:43pm

Do you see any attributes for the entity despite the state being unavailable?

If you don’t see any attributes do you see any errors in the companion app logs related to the SIM?

maurizio53 · February 7, 2023, 8:32pm

This is what i get about the SIM cards:

The SIM 2 is an eSIM

dshokouhi · February 7, 2023, 8:40pm

ah ok so we are getting data but the displayName is null we could default to carrier_name so its not unavailable in this case please feel free to submit an issue on github referencing this.

Default to carrier name when SIM sensor display name is null

## Summary Had a user point out that their e-SIM was showing `unavailable` …despite using a SIM. Turns out there is data but the `displayName` is `null` so now we will default to the `carrierName` instead of showing `unavailable` We may need to mark this as a breaking change due to this behavior change. ## Screenshots ## Link to pull request in Documentation repository Documentation: home-assistant/companion.home-assistant# ## Any other notes Ref: https://community.home-assistant.io/t/e-sim-support/483806/17?u=dshokouhi
