Thanks @ziv you are already helping me via this issue that I have opened here.
So I am happy to shift our comms to there.
Hey All, brilliant to have a Dynalite plugin. Many thanks to everyone involved in developing.
I bought a home with Dynalite installed. I have Hass and the plug-in up and running and my devices configured and working. The only thing that does not work is the status of devices. It does not update them when I first load nor does it pickup any status changes unless done via Hass. For curtains, the status updates really slowly eg takes 3 or 4 minutes for status to update in Hass when the curtain may only take 30 seconds to close. I have active and autodiscover enabled in the yaml file. I have the standard Philips network bridge.
Any tips as to how I can fix / debug ?
I’m considering a Dynalite install and HASS integration is a must. The fact that this thread stalled two years ago worries me.
Does state update now when devices are controlled via regular Dynalite switches?
No, they still sync very badly 
@uzelac @ziv sorry to dig up an old thread.
Are you guys still working with this?
I just received a rs485 to Ethernet device. This one here:

Would you guys be able to help me get it up and running and talking to HA?
I am afraid that gateway is not really going to help in this case.
You need the PDEG or PDDEG-S. The PDEB will also work, but is limited in other ways.
With a bit of a struggle, it got it up and running with that device.
As others have stated, with HA there is no need for a PDEG or similar product. These $20-$60 devices manage to communicate

That is great news! Are you able to get updated states too?
Do let us know the details, I have Dynalite and have an RS485/ethernet adaptor, but can’t for the life of me get them to work together. Not keen to drop $1k for the other solution.
i get status updates, but only if it was controlled by HA. If i control it at the wall panel (antumbra) then no status updates come through, which im fine with.
I wired it directly into the dynalite controller, piggy backing existing cables immediately to the left of the RJ12 port. Wired it into the RS484/ethernet adapter and ran the necessary config on that.
The auto-discover mode didnt work for me, but luckily i dont have too many zones, and was able to work it all out.
Which parts are you struggling with?
Finally, I think found a way around to automatically update the state of channels level by creating automation. So basically, if you trigger area preset on (preset1), off (preset4), scenes (other preset#) and dimming it does not send request channel level to update the individual channels levels. So, by creating automation based on this condition, you can get the accurate channel level value using the call service (request channel level on) via automation to be triggered by any changed in state or any attributes and it will automatically have a correct state and update of the individual channels levels.
Same also if you trigger an individual channels level to sync feedback with (preset1), off (preset4), create an automation with individual channel as our trigger and then do test confirm brightness if 0 then action send area to off (preset4), if brightness is 254 then action send area to on (preset1).
Let me know if this works for you.
