Chacon DiO
chacon_dio
Chacon Dio devices are connected home devices that can be controlled via RF 433 MHz or Wi-Fi. This integration gives you access to the Wi-Fi connection so that Home Assistant can list your Chacon Dio devices and interact with them in real time, the same way the vendor's smartphone application does.

| Chacon DiO shutters | Partly works Cloud | Websocket disconnects stop commands until state refresh or reconnectSaved copyI do not have the need of such a mechanism in my house and I use dio chacon every day for more than one year. What I did is adding a button in the same panel of my covers display that I click when I want to refresh the status or reconnect. Here it is : I listed all my dio_chacon entities in the code. If you want to automatically reconnect every hour, you can simply schedule this service call in home assistant. Just google how to schedule things in homeassistant.
