Problem with Rheem Econet integration (lemmy.world)

Is anyone else having issues with the Rheem Econet integration? It worked so well for so long but now it spends most of its time disconnected from Econet. It appears to reconnect every few minutes for a bit but it seems like every time I open the home assistant app, my thermostat is not functioning. The actual thermostat in my house is functioning normally and connected to the network.

Do you guys have any suggestions?

Logs?

I just upgraded to the 2024.10.1 version and I'm not currently having any issues with my Rheem Econet integration. I have nothing about it in my logs that I can see. Let me know if there's something specific you want to see.

If I look at the HA log, the thermostat seems to disconnect and reconnect itself every few minutes. Does yours do that? After looking closer at it, I think this is an issue with the Rheem thermostat not staying connected to the home WiFi network.

Also, have you considered wiring in to the thermostat directly to avoid having to use a Rheem account?

Finally getting back to this. I only recently discovered I can use the diagnostics port to try and control it directly. I'm probably going to attempt that but need to get some hardware.

I still don't seem to have any issues with connecting or disconnecting.
