Component not loading

[thabet-h]

Home Assistant says component not loaded, check config.

I have 5 identical AC units and they are using the same codes file. Out of the 5 units, the climate component controls two of them just fine and the rest will only turn off.

All the broadlink switches have been configured and working for 2 years.

I have the following in my configuration.yaml,

smartir:

custom_updater:
  component_urls:
    - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/smartHomeHub/SmartIR/master/custom_components.json

the following in my climate.yaml,

  - platform: smartir
    name: Study
    device_code: 1300
    controller_send_service: switch.broadlink_send_packet_192_168_1_70
    temperature_sensor: sensor.multi_study_temperature
    humidity_sensor: sensor.multi_study_humidity

  - platform: smartir
    name: Hobby
    device_code: 1300
    controller_send_service: switch.broadlink_send_packet_192_168_1_71
    temperature_sensor: sensor.multi_study_temperature
    humidity_sensor: sensor.multi_study_humidity

  - platform: smartir
    name: Living
    device_code: 1300
    controller_send_service: switch.broadlink_send_packet_192_168_1_72
    temperature_sensor: sensor.multi_kitchen_temperature
    humidity_sensor: sensor.multi_kitchen_humidity

  - platform: smartir
    name: Kitchen
    device_code: 1300
    controller_send_service: switch.broadlink_send_packet_192_168_1_73
    temperature_sensor: sensor.multi_kitchen_temperature
    humidity_sensor: sensor.multi_kitchen_humidity

  - platform: smartir
    name: Master
    device_code: 1300
    controller_send_service: switch.broadlink_send_packet_192_168_1_74
    temperature_sensor: sensor.multi_study_temperature
    humidity_sensor: sensor.multi_study_humidity

  - platform: smartir
    name: Dining
    device_code: 1300
    controller_send_service: switch.broadlink_send_packet_192_168_1_75
    temperature_sensor: sensor.multi_kitchen_temperature
    humidity_sensor: sensor.multi_kitchen_humidity

and attached is my json file 1300.

Hi, what is your HA version? Could you send me the full logs?

[thabet-h]

Did you forget to attach the logs?

[thabet-h]

Sorry about that, please check here:

However, does the climate platform work?

Is there Internet access from HA?

[thabet-h]

Climate works perfectly on two units, the rest will only turn off. HA has internet access, yes.

Are all units the same brand and model?

[thabet-h]

Yes, all Sharp same model and all working for years on the now obsolete component.

Beside this problem, please update the __init__.py, climate.py, fan.py and media_player.py files from this folder. It seems that you are mixing different versions of files. The previous error should disappear.

About the units which not respond to other commands except 'off' is very strange. Is the broadlink controller led indicates that broadlink send a command?

[thabet-h]

I have updated the files, the component is now loaded 👍

Nothing came up in the log but still, the problem persists. With the units that do not respond, the broadlink controller shows no signal. Shows a signal only when turning off.

Did you try to change the controller_send_service to a non-working entity? Let's assume that Kitchen entity not working and Study works well. Please try to add the boradlink's send service of Study to Kitchen entity. Does the component send all the signals now?

[thabet-h]

Yes, just did that. Problem persisted. The controller still sent only the off command.

I tried something else though... I took a random packet from 1300.json and tried sending it manually from HA's Services Panel through one of the controllers that didn't work. It worked... So I think this means maybe something is wrong with the component?

Update: I took my old INI file and converted it into 13.json. Switched all ACs to that file. The units that worked didn't and the units that didn't work started working. So I am now using a mix of both files and have all units working.
