I’m getting a lot of these errors lately

Logger: velbus-protocol
Source: deps/lib/python3.12/site-packages/velbusaio/protocol.py:91
First occurred: 7:55:09 AM (512 occurrences)
Last logged: 9:19:08 AM

Velbus connection lost: RuntimeError(‘get_buffer() returned an empty buffer’)

Also seems like my integration is not working anymore unless I reload it fully. Afterwards it’s working again for a random amount of time after which this happens again.

Any ideas ?

Note: I still need to update to the latest HA version but had issues with it last few days so reverted to older version with older Velbus integration as well (so if this is a known issue and it already got fixed in a newer version, I apologize and that would be good news… then I just need to figure out what’s going on with the new HA version because when I upgrade it doesn’t start up anymore and gives a 404 error)

Stop your HA instance and in the file system in configuration you’ll find a Velbus folder with all configuration, you can delete that and restart everything for new scans

I was wondering if there were plans to integrate VMB8IN-20 into Home Assistant. This is the only module I have that lacks support. It would be nice to add sensors this way and would open up the possibility to add energy monitoring to my smart home. Thanks!

If you offer temporary remote access to the Velbus developer for HomeAssistant, to evaluate and test support, I’m sure it’ll happen quickly.

Especially if you offer a few cups of coffee etc
