Python/PIP install, then what's next?

Configuration

Hello there,
I’m into new territory here, I got a new vacuum and I see that I can update the library by running pip install, I’ve done that through the terminal in studio code, and all came back clean. Yet I see no change in the plugin, my vacuum is still not visible.

Plugin Home

Ecovacs is the plugin in question, vacuum is an x11 which it has been updated for.

I’ve deleted my previous setup in the plugin, restarted, and still nothing.
Just checking that I’ve done this right and I don’t need to do anything after running the install command.

Thank you.

Home Assistant uses integrations to connect to devices. Not that python library.

Thank you for the reply. I already had the integration installed and functional. Yet the new vacuum didn’t report in. So it seemed that if I ran the install I’d get the latest device library.

So I just have to wait for the integration to be updated as opposed to what I did earlier?

Correct.

You can open an issue here to alert the code owner that an update is needed: home-assistant · Discussions · GitHub

But read through the existing ones first to make sure you are not creating a duplicate.

OK, yes, a request already exists. So wait I shall. Yet why don’t the manual library updates work in this case?

You’d need to edit the integration manifest to pull in a new version of the library.
