core: Anthem AV entity unavailable since core 7.4

The problem

Anthem AV receiver integration has not worked since Core 7.4.

The integration becomes “Unavailable” and renders all associated automations useless.

I have restarted HA, deleted, re-added, restored and changed the IP address of the integration numerous times with every core update. Nothing works until I do a full restore of core 7.4.

What version of Home Assistant Core has the issue?

11.1

What was the last working version of Home Assistant Core?

7.4

What type of installation are you running?

Home Assistant OS

Integration causing the issue

Anthem AV Receivers

Link to integration documentation on our website

https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/anthemav/

Example YAML snippet

CORE 7.4
type: media-control
entity: media_player.mrx_1120

CORE 11.1 and before
type: media-control
entity: media_player.unavailable

Anything in the logs that might be useful for us?

no error messages except for smartthings integrations needs to be re-added

Additional information

none

Hi Alex, I just posted a reply nugget/python-anthemav#25 (comment) https://github.com/nugget/python-anthemav/issues/25#issuecomment-1037070625 with the most current logs. A couple other things that I have noticed during my attempt to make this work, is that the Anthem API excel file has some errors. I did contact Anthem technical support and they have confirmed that. I have not yet done an exhaustive check of that API, but here is the one that affects the protocol: Current entry in the protocol.py file

Audio Listening mode

ALM_NUMBER = { “None”: 0, “AnthemLogic Cinema”: 1, “AnthemLogic Music”: 2, “PLII Movie”: 3, “PLII Music”: 4, “Neo Cinema”: 5, “Neo Music”: 6, “All Channel”: 7, “All Channel Mono”: 8, “Mono”: 9, “Mono-Academy”: 10, “Mono (L)”: 11, “Mono ®”: 12, “High Blend”: 13, “Dolby Surround”: 14, }

And here the correct codes for the X40 version

Audio Listening mode

ALM_NUMBER = { “None”: 0, “AnthemLogic Cinema”: 1, “AnthemLogic Music”: 2, “Dolby Surround”: 3, “DTS neural:X”: 4, “DTS Virtual:X”: 5, “All Channel Stereo”: 6, “Mono”: 7, “All Channel Mono”: 8, }

I did not check any further because I was trying to get the communication section to work correctly first

FYI. I published a new version of the package and can be tested with a custom component that you can find here: nugget/python-anthemav#25 (comment) https://github.com/nugget/python-anthemav/issues/25#issuecomment-1037070625 If you could give this a try, I might have fixed your problem in this new version. If not, I would really need the debug logs from the components.
