Error when starting homekit about remote_homeassistant

[mattlongman]

Same issue in 0.101.1. I've tried to debug this some more, but not made any progress.

Bit of a clarification on the issue though: after doing a bit more testing, the control seems to remain for longer than I thought (perhaps doesn't drop at all - need to test further), but the master instance doesn't get any status updates for entities.

E.g. turn Office Light on through master instance, light comes on, but master instance UI doesn't update to reflect that (toggle in UI pings back to off). Click Office Light toggle back on, and before it pings back, click it off again, and the light will turn off.

So it's sending the right commands, just not reflecting that in home assistant (or homekit, for that matter).

I still can't work out what in the homekit component is conflicting with this or why it's erroring, so I resorted to doing the obvious thing and suppressed the KeyError on line 386. Seems to work now! Will test further tomorrow.

Oh! I think I've found the problem.
You're using a entity_prefix.
In the line where self._entities.remove(entity_id), the prefix is not added beforehand.
I will try to come up with a bugfix tomorrow.

[lukas-hetzenecker]

Yep, could reproduce the error

[lukas-hetzenecker]

Should be fixed in master now

[mattlongman]

Thanks Lukas. I'll check this in the morning.

[mattlongman]

Yep, all good now. Thanks

Edit: spoke too soon. Not used HACS before, so I thought it would reload the latest from github, but I guess HACS needed to reload first?

Seeing the same keyerror:

File "/config/custom_components/remote_homeassistant/__init__.py", line 393, in fire_event

still looks like the old version. Made a new release now, you can update via HACS

That error was after deleting the folder and downloading the zip from GitHub directly. Error is now on a different line, so is definitely newer than the previous.

(Edit: and error now has a prefix where it didn't before. KeyError: 'persistent_notification.usb_config_entry_discovery')
