Additional context
I have 5 Powrmatic/Innova HVAC units, 4 have added successfully and one refuses to be added, giving the 'Unexpected Error' above. The only difference with them is that the one that fails to add is a different model to the others. The ones that have added successfully were all Vision 2.0 models, whereas the one that fails to add is a 'verticool' model. Essentially the same unit, just a different form factor. They all use the same Innvo iOS App and all have the same controller in the unit;

The verticool might not implement the API the same way, I had to adapt the integration for the airleaf fancoil. The API was similar, but different enough that it was not a drop in in the integration.

Do you get a JSON string if you try this url in a browser (replacing with the IP of your verticool)?
http://[IP_ADDRESS]/api/v/1/status

If it returns a result similar to this one, then maybe we can work with it, otherwise, I'm afraid it might not work with this integration.

[danielrivard]

Looking at the user manual, it does look very similar though, so maybe it is just a small difference, maybe it has a different "deviceType": "001".

It even uses the exact same application than my Innova 2.0 unit, so I think it should be compatible.

[danielrivard]

I may have reproduced it by simulating a different deviceType.
Can you look at the logs http://[YOUR_HOME_ASSISTANT]:8123/config/logs?

And there should be an error related to innova

If you click on it, you should see more details

Hey Daniel, so, yes, I get a response from the API as follows;

{"success":true,"sw":{"V":"1.0.36"},"UID":"bc:dd:c2:e0:XX:XX","time":{"d":28,"m":3,"y":2023,"h":12,"i":28},"net":{"ip":"192.168.10.XXX","sub":"255.255.255.0","gw":"192.168.10.XXX","dhcp":"1"},"setup":{"serial":"IN182XXXX","name":"Kitchen"},"RESULT":{"sp":18,"wm":1,"cfg_lastWorkingMode":1,"ps":0,"fs":0,"fr":7,"cm":0,"a":[],"t":15,"cp":0,"nm":0,"ns":0,"cloudStatus":4,"connectionStatus":2,"cloudConfig":1, "timerStatus":0, "heatingDisabled":0, "inputFlags":0,"ncc":0, "debugmsg":"", "pwd":"", "heap":12272, "ccv":0, "cci":0, "daynumber":0, "uptime":83320, "uscm":0, "lastRefresh":4417}}

(I've 'X' out some of the IP address,MAC address and Serial number data)

When I clear the error log in HA and try and add the unit, I get two entries;

Unexpected exception
12:31:38 – (ERROR) Innova (custom integration)
:0:0 Script error.
12:31:27 – (ERROR) components/system_log/init.py

If I select the Unexpected exception error I get;

Logger: custom_components.innova.config_flow
Source: custom_components/innova/config_flow.py:37
Integration: Innova (documentation, issues)
First occurred: 12:31:38 (1 occurrences)

Unexpected exception

KeyError: 'deviceType'

In the other Script error I get;

Source: components/system_log/init.py:254
First occurred: 12:31:27 (1 occurrences)

This unit doesn't have motorised vents so no 'swing mode' is available. Other than that, they have the same functionality from a users perspective.

This is the output from one of my other devices that does work, looks like the Vertical response above is missing the "deviceType" tag

{"success":true,"sw":{"V":"1.0.42"},"UID":"84:0d:8e:96:XX:XX","deviceType": "001","time":{"d":28,"m":3,"y":2023,"h":12,"i":56},"net":{"ip":"192.168.10.XXX","sub":"255.255.255.0","gw":"192.168.10.XXX","dhcp":"1"},"setup":{"serial":"IN190XXXX","name":"Living Room"},"RESULT":{"sp":22,"wm":5,"cfg_lastWorkingMode":5,"ps":0,"fs":0,"fr":7,"cm":0,"a":[],"t":16,"cp":0,"nm":0,"ns":0,"cloudStatus":4,"connectionStatus":2,"cloudConfig":1, "timerStatus":0, "heatingDisabled":0, "coolingDisabled":0, "hotelMode":0, "kl":0, "heatingResistance":0, "inputFlags":0,"ncc":0, "pwd":"", "heap":11672, "ccv":0, "cci":0, "daynumber":0, "uptime":146740, "uscm":0, "lastRefresh":2}}

Thank you for providing the details. I think I know how I can fix it quickly. I'll see if I can find some time to do it and push an updated version in the next few days.

[dbeees]

That would be great!

Thank you so much :-)

[danielrivard]

I just published a new version that should fix your issue. Let me know how it goes.

[dbeees]

Worked perfectly! Thank you for taking the time out to do this :-)On 29 Mar 2023, at 02:44, Daniel Rivard ***@***.***> wrote: I just published a new version that should fix your issue.
