The HTD integration from the hikirsch HACS repository stopped working a few days ago. I am still able to telnet to port 10006 at the IP address of the GW-SL1, but the integration “Failed to set up” after a long delay.
AI blames an HA update:
Two primary breaking changes in recent Home Assistant Core releases are impacting this repository:
The DhcpServiceInfo Deprecation: In early 2026, Home Assistant Core completely deprecated and changed the way the DhcpServiceInfo constant handles background network discovery. Since the legacy hikirsch code explicitly called this constant, it causes the component setup to throw unhandled Python exceptions immediately during initialization.
Strict Event Loop Controls: Home Assistant has significantly tightened rules around blocking network and disk I/O requests happening in the main event thread. Legacy custom integrations using synchronous socket loops get flagged, skipped, or killed.
Do these explanations make sense to anyone? Is a fix in the works?
Hi, for integrations provided by HACS, you have to contact the developer since these are created by the community and are not part of the official HA project.
