Describe the bug
I have this installed in the field and am finding that the addon starts without any problems, but within a 24 hour period will stop. I can restart the addon and everything comes back to life, but it will just stop again within another 24 hours.

Application version
texecom2mqtt v1.2.3 (Node v16.13.0)

Texecom alarm type
I believe it is a Premier Elite 48, with ComIP ... I'm just confirming.

Home Assistant version
Home Assistant 2023.2.2
Supervisor 2023.01.1
Operating System 9.5
Frontend 20230202.0 - latest

Debug log
The issue I have is that when the addon is stopped - the log is gone from the UI. Starting the log, presents the log from the point the addon starts. Is there a way to pull the historical logs? I want to understand the trigger causing the addon to stop. The 'watchdog' function is not picking up that the addon has stopped, so I am calling the start addon service every 30mins as a workaround for the moment.

I am facing a similar issue.

Attached is a screenshot of my log when it happens.

I have the same setup and panel model, experiencing the same issue. Isn’t Watchdog supposed to re-start it again? I have that enabled and it does not restart.

I'm getting the same, and with no support from the original dev for this integration. I'm left scratching my head about what to do. My only viable option looks to be ripping out the alarm panel and replacing it. I would much rather keep the investment. But with the AddOn crashing, all my motion based automations are failing.

After updating to the newest alarm and smartcom firmware and utilizing a separate comwifi for HA and smartcom for the texecom app, the issue has improved. However, the texecom smartcom does not work well while linked to both the app and the HA. many disconnections. I put an automation in to start the texecom2mqtt after 15 mins if it's disconnected too

sorry to bump this, but can you add any more detail on your automation to restart texecom2mqtt if it disconnects? is this from home assistant? I running all my stuff via docker. I imagine I need to be doing this via supervisor

This is the automation I have in HA. TBH, it still doesn't detect the failure reliably. Without @dchesterton being around to help, I think this integration is going to continue to be a challenge to work reliably. I'm thinking that Konnected is the next best step for me.

Note, you'll need to adjust the entity_id and addon entries to suit your system setup.

there's other plugins that work with home bridge though:

@metaljay - how are you building that integration? I'm running HA OS, off a proxmox host. Are you using native HA homekit integrations, or running HB alongside HA?

I run docker on my pi 4 with homebridge and homeassstant (core). these then each have their own bridge in HomeKit
