Eq3btsmart stoped working after Update to 0.62.0 with hassio

Configuration

hello

after the update to 0.62.0 I have a Problem with the eq3btsmart component:
with the

climate:
- platform: eq3btsmart
    devices:
      kueche:
        mac: !secret heat_kueche_mac

  - platform: eq3btsmart
    devices:
      Schlafzimmer:
        mac: !secret heat_schlafen_mac

  - platform: eq3btsmart
    devices:
      Bad:
        mac: !secret heat_bad_mac

I get the following errors:

Error while setting up platform eq3btsmart

Maybe someon can give me a hint what is wrong?

Thanks

I seem to be having the exact same issue, after the update to 0.62.0. For reference:

The construct library changed the order of some structures which caused this break. Updating to a newer release of python-eq3bt (e.g. pip install python-eq3bt, release 0.1.8 has this issue fixed) will fix it.

It is odd though how come it’s broken, as the fix should have already been released with 0.62 (https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant/pull/11834). Could you please verify which versions of python-eq3bt and construct you have installed? pip show python-eq3bt (and the same for construct) will show the installed versions.

Thanks for your reply.

I have connected into the docker image homeassistant/raspberrypi3-homeassistantsince I use hassio and than looked for the versions:

python-eq3bt: Version: 0.1.8
construct: Version: 2.8.10

Maybe it is something different between hassio and the normal installation?
Maybe I can find something more in this direction but now I have to go to work first.

Edit:
After manually upgrade construct it is okay.
The requirements of python-eq3bt have to be updated to the lowest version of construct with the new api.

Having it to pin the version / depend on a newer version after that API change will only remedy this until the API breaks again, which is why I’m not such a great fan of version pinning. This will be fixed on its own time, but if you really want, I’ll accept a PR for that.

Can you tell me how you updated this within hass.io? I’m struggling with the same problem, even with the 0.64.3 release. Too bad I cannot use the Bluetooth thermostats anymore.
