Issue with name resolver

[fra87]

Hello

Due to issues with the ISP, sometimes the name of servers cannot be resolved.

This however permanently blocks the extension, since from that moment the extension (I assume) doesn't try again to contact the server.

Here is the log entry with that problem.
pyworxcloud - log.txt

The issue happened on 1st July, and until now (3 days) it has not recovered. No additional log entries are present in the log list in Home Assistant, so I assume the script crashed.

I expect the extension to continue retrying and, when the DNS come back online, resume proper operations

This is unfortunately completely out of my hands. That's something you have to take with your ISP.
DNS names resolves just as they should using both my ISP DNS servers, Google DNS and CloudFlare DNS.

Maybe I was not clear enough in the first message.

Of course the ISP DNS resolution is out of the extensions hands, but I expect that when the connection comes back then the extension resumes working. In this case, on the other hand, the connection came back 3 days ago, but the extension did not work.

I assume it is because the exceptions in the logs are not handled correctly, and so the pyworxcloud extension stops working

As it says - max retries exceeded. When that happens, no more retries will be tried until you restart your Home Assistant

[fra87]

Well, that's the point... I think that an automatic system shall not need to be restarted in case something happens, but it shall be able to automatically recover.

So in this case I think that after some time it shall try again, otherwise it becomes locked in this state forever

[MTrab]

You could have a point in that. I'll reopen the issue and do some investigation into if it's possible to somehow reset/reload/retry after a given time.

I'll close this, as everything is up for a rewrite as a result of recently gaining access to the full Positec repository with the correct documentation of the API and description of how to use the API the correct way.
