Devices dislike sequence numbers above 0x80000000

Looking through the code it is unclear to me where it swaps from int32 to uint32. The T1201Packet packet the response is being received from specifies int32.

Could you test with https://github.com/google/python-lakeside/tree/test_uint32 ?

I now have that same problem, so I tried this change, but it doesn't work:

It continues until there's a recursion error (as in #15)

[mjg59]

That looks like a different issue

[sebmos]

I don't the recursive error is a different issue, btw. I don't think the recursive error is the same as in
#15 - just that it is recursive, as in that issue.

I think the recursive error comes from the fact that while loading the current device state during the connect state, the socket connection closes, because the device doesn't accept the uint32 sequence number.
Since that error happens during the initial connection step, it ends up connecting repeatedly. I ran into the same recursive issue in node-eufy-api while testing changing sequence from int32 to uint32.

[mjg59]

The only way the sequence number is greater than MAX_INT is if the device sent us back something that's bigger than that. The protobuf wire format doesn't distinguish between uint32 and int32, so it's not obvious how it could generate values that it can reject.

[sebmos]

That all makes sense, and yet that is what the behaviour suggests - it's also the same behaviour I saw on the JavaScript port of your library.

In general, closing the socket was a symptom of an "invalid" message being sent, and in this case specifically, the sequence incrementing worked just fine, until the numbers got much larger than initially. I tried the same fix you did, changing the variable type both to int32 & int64, and all it did was continuously close the socket in response to a message with a sequence higher than uint32 max.

It appears to me that this is a bug on the EufyHome device side.

[mjg59]

Ok. Does simply resetting the sequence number to 0 if we get back something >=0x80000000 work?

[sebmos]

I changed the code like this:

return 0 if response.sequence > 0x80000000 else response.sequence + 1

My (unfortunately hasty) test didn't turn on the plug (forgot that in my test script), but it did connect. The problem is now gone away (sequence is < 0x80000000).

Most likely this means resetting the sequence nr to 0 works, but I can't double-check properly, either.)

[sebmos]

I take that back - one of my plugs still has the problem, and resetting to 0 doesn't fix it/results in the same problem as before. I tried the same with the JS port, which has a bit of extra logging and confirms that the logic is doing what it should be (i.e. what exactly the sequence nr is, what it does, etc.)

[sebmos]

I think this issue should still be open - the problem as specifically described in the issue title might be resolved (no more ValueError), but the actual problem (socket closes immediately, if the value is higher than uint32) is still there..
