Generic hygrostat does not work anymore on newest version of HA

Configuration
1

Hello,

I was using this configuration Generic hygrostat - Home Assistant to automatize fan control in my bathroom. Importunately configuration does not work anymore one the newest version of HA 2021.10.05.

The below error logs has appearing on the HA core logs:
2021-10-17 22:34:42 WARNING (MainThread) [homeassistant.components.generic_hygrostat.humidifier] Sensor is stalled, call the emergency stop
2021-10-17 22:34:42 WARNING (MainThread) [homeassistant.components.generic_hygrostat.humidifier] Unable to update from sensor: could not convert string to float: ‘Stalled’

Do you experience similar problem ?

I just discovered generic_hygrostat integration and added one to my configuration.
But I don’t get switch triggered whatever target humidity I set.
I guess I’ll have to use generic thermostat with fake sensor instead.

Update: Actually, I’m only having issue with device_class: dehumidifier items.
device_class: humidifier work fine.

Same here. I mean I haven’t actually tried the “humidifier” setting but the “dehumidifier” doesn’t trigger. There’s nothing in the log that I can find it just doesn’t work. I can toggle it manually but it won’t turn itself on or off.

I had the same problem with not triggering ever. Turns out, unlike generic thermostat, which has a heating/not-heating switch below the gauge, you need to go to the three-dot menu and turn it on there. Then it works. See Probleme generic hydrostat ¡ Issue #68142 ¡ home-assistant/core ¡ GitHub.
