Legacy protocol detection fails on firmware V0002.09.09O.P0930 #9

Description

TV Info

  • Brand: Hisense
  • OS: VIDAA
  • Firmware: V0002.09.09O.P0930
  • Extended version: O.P0930.X0003.W01.Y01.J01
  • Market: Italy

Problem

PIN pairing flow shows a PIN on the TV screen correctly, but HA returns
"Invalid PIN" on every attempt despite entering the correct code.

When switching to the bruno-rodrigues fork (PR #7), the integration
returns "An unexpected error occurred" at the host entry stage and
never reaches the PIN screen.

Log

Could not detect protocol. Using modern auth (will try fallback if fails)
Source: /usr/local/lib/python3.14/site-packages/vidaa/client.py:160

Expected behavior

The TV appears to use legacy MQTT protocol (static credentials).
Protocol detection fails and modern auth doesn't work either.
The fix in PR #7 does not resolve the issue for this firmware.

Home Assistant version

HA 2026.x (latest)

Steps to reproduce

  1. Install ha-vidaa-tv via HACS
  2. Add integration, enter TV IP
  3. PIN appears on TV
  4. Enter PIN → "Invalid PIN" error
  5. Tried bruno-rodrigues fork → "An unexpected error occurred"
