Hello,
a while ago, I have gotten myself a Philips CX3550.
It is a good fan, but a terrible smart fan. While the official app works well, my integration with Home Assistant doesn’t.
I currently use ruaan-deysel/ha-philips-airpurifier to connect to the device but often find it unavailable. As others already mentioned pinning it and restarting HA helped me to get it available again (sometimes also connecting first via the official app), but this is all but smooth.
I was wondering, what integrations work best for you and if there is one that deals with Philips quirks the best to make the fan available basically all the time. So far, I have seen:
- ruaan-deysel/ha-philips-airpurifier (I am currently using this)
- kongo09/philips-airpurifier-coap
- 1RandomDev/philips-cx3550-homeassistant (fully solved the problem in hardware by getting rid of Philips Cloud and relying on MQTT)
