There is a lot of red flags in this PR:
- You suggest adding files that presumably should be in the requirements
- You are adding a code owner for a new integration that is not yourself
- There is commented code present
- There is a generous amounts of non-English comments
- IQS is set to fully done while not even half of the documentation is present

Please take a look at the requested changes, and use the Ready for review button when you are done, thanks 👍 |
- Fix codeowners to @qingshi688 - Remove Chinese comments and commented code - Adjust quality_scale.yaml - Clean up Chinese log messages

Hi @qingshi688
Let's start properly addressing things to help getting started with onboarding Hisense Connectlife. Also is the intention to move from HACS (hacs/default#3771) to Core?
You suggest adding files that presumably should be in the requirements:
- Quickly glancing api, application_credentials I would expect this to be in
connectlife-cloudnot part of core ❓
You are adding a code owner for a new integration that is not yourself:
- https://github.com/Connectlife-LLC would be fine - as you are part of that, but it makes more sense adding yourself and other committers ✅ (not sure why your co-codeowners of the custom_component wouldn't be in here or are they not interested)?
There is commented code present:
- I see some of it gone, will check on further review
IQS is set to fully done while not even half of the documentation is present
- So why would they all be exempt now then - just flagging them doesn't make sense, please see https://developers.home-assistant.io/docs/core/integration-quality-scale/rules for more information. You can't just 'done' or 'exempt' them.
- Also, why would you mark brands as exempt given you've successfully had home-assistant/brands#8149 merged?
So all in all, less red flags and definitely thanks for contributing, but we do have some things to still address to properly transfer the customer_component into a Core integration.
- Move device parsing logic to connectlife-cloud (v0.3.0) - Move translation management to connectlife-cloud - Move device parser filtering to connectlife-cloud - Simplify api.py from 991 lines to 305 lines (69% reduction) - Fix CODEOWNERS to use personal account (@qingshi688) - Remove all Chinese comments from codebase - Add backward compatibility properties for tests

Hi @CoMPaTech, Thanks for the detailed feedback! Let me address your points: Re: HACS migration Re: Business logic in connectlife-cloud ✅
Note: Re: Code owners ✅ Re: Commented code Re: IQS
I'll update Changes in this update:
Thanks for the guidance - the refactoring made the code much cleaner! |

Hi @qingshi688
You made quite some progress but there is still a lot of code that could and should be part of the dependency/library. I would encourage you to look at a few other integrations (see below for checking other oAuth2 integrations or look for climate integrations that resemble HiSense.
Your dependency (presumably https://pypi.org/project/connectlife-cloud/ which indicates update 1h ago at time of writing) holds more information but the Github page linked from it isn't publicly available?
I'd also suggest looking into having cleaner output of connectlife-cloud towards interfacing with HA. Looking into climate.py you have a lot of "if [Chinese] or [English]: append HVACMode.xxx" If the library is - apparently - already bilingual you could initialise it (for HA) to just return either one of them and you wouldn't need all of them. See a comment on the enumeration as well - if you provide result="heat" you can just append-try HVACMode(result) and be done.
While tests might still pass, I'd recommend you also use the pre-commit checks as they definitely do not pass. There are quite a lot of checks in ruff and hassfest that you don't pass (and that is just looking at them visually).

While it would still work, you should update the code to use the entry.runtime_data (see here. Applies to other places with hass.data as well

Fixed. Replaced all hass.data usages with entry.runtime_data across the integration and tests (e.g., init.py, climate.py, config_flow.py, diagnostics.py; tests updated). No hass.data[DOMAIN][…] references remain.

Can you explain what you are trying to load directly as anything related to relations normally should be part of strings.json. There might be a smarter or better way - please do not just 'add everything' to strings.json, help us understand what you are trying to accomplish.
Also see generic comment, the link to the source-code for the dependency is not working and might be a private repository. That should be open and transparent (as I now also can't digest what the TranslationManager is up to)
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Fixed. Removed load_translations() from the integration. Mode translation is handled in the connectlife_cloud library via mode_converter.py, which converts device-provided Chinese/English strings to standard HA English strings; the integration only consumes English. User-facing localization remains in strings.json. The library’s source repository is now public and accessible.

There are still a lot of functions that could/should be part of the module not part of component code. Wrt using specific Home Assistant parts (like oauth) that would definitely need to be in your integration here, so consuming config_entry_oauth2_flow would be in config_entry.py. It might be helpful to peek into other integrations to see how they integrate this (a search for application_credentials.py should reveal them) or look at Twitch as an example.
Functions like list/get devices should be part of the library and just consumable by the applicable parts of the integration.
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Fixed. Moved non-HA business logic to the library and made api.py a thin adapter. Device listing/parsing/power checks live in connectlife_cloud (client.py, device_manager.py, translations.py, mode_converter.py). HA-specific OAuth2 remains correctly in the integration (application_credentials.py / config_flow.py).

You still have a few wrapper classes in here that aren't immediately clear to me other than trying to noqa your way out of proper typing?

You have duplicates of this class (i.e. also in auth.py - or is that file now redundant)?

Fixed. Removed the duplicate OAuth2 implementation in auth.py and its tests. application_credentials.py now contains the single OAuth2 implementation.

HVACMode is an enum - there should be no need for this?
str(HVACMode.AUTO) → "auto"
HVACMode("auto") → HVACMode.AUTO

Fixed. Removed manual HVAC mapping dictionaries. The integration now uses HVACMode(get_ha_mode_string(value_map, device_value)) directly; fan modes also use the corresponding helpers from mode_converter.py.

Is that a valid assumption for a user to just have 'all bells and whistles' active? I.e. if their device doesn't return the modes all HiSense devices have all of the options? What we want to make sure of is that you don't have users getting functionality their device isn't capable of. Also it could save you some feedback on 'I have an AUTO/OFF device, but your HA integration told me it can DRY -> why doesn't it work)?
Additionally you set these here but I also spotted the same list in const.py => if it is the same list you could just CONST the list and use it that way - but let's first tackle if the assumption to add all modes is correct for the actual physical HiSense devices.
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Fixed. We no longer assume all devices support all modes. HVAC modes are built dynamically from the device parser’s value_map (and static capabilities like heat support); if no parser is available, only OFF is exposed. This prevents exposing unsupported features.

This one I definitely have seen before in (other) file(s) - so there is plenty of actual duplicate code in your PR now? It also (didn't read it, just assuming here) should be part of the dependency/library not something part of the integration.
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Clarified. Not duplicated. The coordinator contains the HA-specific WebSocket handling (updates HA state via async_set_updated_data), while api.py only dispatches callbacks. Library remains HA-agnostic by design.
… instead of `hass.data[DOMAIN]`; remove duplicate `_load_translations()` and OAuth2 implementation in `auth.py`; refactor HVAC mode handling to use library's `mode_converter` for direct `HVACMode` enum conversion; fix default HVAC modes display logic.

Hi @qingshi688
Didn't read through all code yet, but there should be enough things to improve still. Wrt development environment that was a reference to your local workstation not your forked repo per se. I.e. your quality_scale shouldn't have passed hassfest. So I'd really advise you to go through https://developers.home-assistant.io/docs/development_environment to ensure things are ok before committing.

- Use specific exceptions (aiohttp.ClientError, asyncio.TimeoutError) instead of broad Exception in api.py - Import DEFAULT_MIN_TEMP/DEFAULT_MAX_TEMP from climate.const - Remove duplicate docstrings in hvac_mode, fan_mode, swing_mode properties - Fix AttributeError when device_type is None by setting defaults before if statement - Ensure _attr_hvac_modes is set when parser unavailable in _setup_hvac_modes - Simplify temperature range configuration logic

Hi @CoMPaTech, I've addressed all the review feedback and the PR is ready for review again. All tests are passing locally. Is there anything else you'd like me to change or clarify? Happy to help with any additional requirements. Thanks for your time! |

Hi @qingshi688 how do you run your local tests? I've seen that you run the full GitHub CI yourself (which you can) but I doubt if you locally ran the pre-commit checks (including hassfest) or at least hassfest yourself. The answer is probably that you didn't as the quality scale still fails. |

So what I already indicated and I mean this in the nicest way - run your local environment as per the link indicated. Most of the fails would have been indicated before committing.
See the CI results. We can check back for a more in-depth review, but please make sure you tick all the appropriate boxes.

I'm not sure what you are doing, your commits imply you running everything manually - if you follow the documentation (https://developers.home-assistant.io/docs/development_environment) and have an IDE (such as VSC) and proper pre-commit environment in place, all of the ruff sorting etc. should have been updated automatically. Reason for suspecting this is the commits but the quality scale file as well, it wouldn't commit. Please ensure you set up your environment correctly so we limit the amount of time looking at things that can be flagged (or even fixed) automatically.
We're trying to help you out and get to actual reviews of the code, but it still looks like somehow you are not following the documented process.
