Unavailable - Help Me Please!

[sudoxnym]

I may be going crazy. No matter what I try, it always returns the bulb as unavailable.
Installation via HACS. IP is static. So, no issue there. I've uninstalled, reinstalled, tried installing the master, v1 and v2, cut power to the bulb, multiple reboots throughout the entire process, which takes 45 years... I'm about to cry, nothing seems to work.
Config entry:

  - platform: wiz_light
    name: Wiz Test
    host: 192.168.1.26   

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Make sure that your bulb is connected to WiFi and working through the WiZ app on your phone first.

The wiz light template must go under your light entry in your config.xml. It's possible to have multiple other entites designated there.

Also, be aware that YAML is super picky on indentation. It looks like your example is good, you may just be missing a header. Here's my light section from configuration.yaml. Ignore the template light, it's only relevant to show the overall structure of the Configuration.yaml.

light:
  - platform: wiz_light
    name: "Office Overhead Light"
    host: 192.168.9.117
  - platform: wiz_light
    name: "Office Lamp"
    host: 192.168.8.105
  - platform: template
    lights:
      flux_virtual:
        friendly_name: "Flux Virtual Bulb"
        turn_on:
        turn_off:
        set_level:
        set_temperature:

Luckily @sbidy has the GUI configuration ready to go for the pull into HA core, so that option should be available soon.

Have you already configured al 13 bulbs? Are all of them having issues or just your first sample?

Simplest thing first: make sure you can ping the bulb, ideally testing from the HA machine. (I run Home Assistant core so it's easy for me, I don't know if it's easy from Home Assistant supervised. )

Have you had a chance to try a getSystemConfig from the linux command line? That will at least help you determine if everything is communicating well.

echo '{"method":"getSystemConfig","params":{}}' | nc -u -w 1 <YOU BULB IP> 38899

Also, you can try turning on logging for wiz_light. You would have to add a logging entry to your configuration.yaml.

logger:
    default: critical
    logs:
        # log level for a custom component
        custom_components.wiz_light: debug

THIS is what I was looking for. Thank you.
I have tested multiple of them and none are showing available. When I run a Ping from HA it shows connected. (Made a presence detector to make it easy)

I tried typing that into terminal and it gave me absolutely nothing. I also tried it as a shell command but I don't think that was right either. Where am I supposed to type that in?

As for logger:
"Logger: custom_components.wiz_light.light
Source: custom_components/wiz_light/light.py:229
Integration: wiz_light (documentation)
First occurred: 11:24:17 PM (6 occurrences)
Last logged: 11:26:17 PM

The request to the bulb timted out"

Is timted supposed to say timed?

Edit: researched... I think I typed it in the right place. I tried both through terminal and putty

Hey, it seems to be a connection problem with the bulb. If you connect via SSH/Putty to the HASS (or other Linux System with network connection to the bulb) and run this directly in the "shell" echo '{"method":"getSystemConfig","params":{}}' | nc -u -w 1 <YOU BULB IP> 38899 you should get a response.
If you get nothing - the bulb is not reachable via UDP.

In that case you should check in you WiZ App under "Settings" -> "Allow local communication" is switched on.
If you don't see the bulbs in the app either - you should connect these bulbs with the WiZ App and the connection wizard.
If you can not connect the bulbs via App too - you should check your network of firewall settings.

Thank you for hinting me to the typo - yes it should be "timed out". 😉

BRO! I don't know if I should run around the house at 2:30AM screaming like a madman and pull my computer back out, but guess what? I'm an idiot and had local turned off! INSTANTLY fixed it! You're the best!

A HUGE thank you to both of yall for the help!
