additional_tracked doesn't notify Lovelace

[gorynychzmey]

It looks like the component doesn't notify Lovelace when the data was changed - the markup card doesn't update automatically and will only be updated if I reopen the tab (go to another tab and then back to tab with the markdown with the flight data). I could also stare minutes at the status in Development Tools and don't notify any changes (despite of update interval set to 10s).

If there are no changes for tracked flights between sensor updates - there wont be any update in status Development Tools or Lovelace. Is there any error in Logs?

[gorynychzmey]

No, there are no any errors in log. The ongoing flights (which are live updated) must have changed at least their latitude and longitude, but I don't see it in Lovelace and Developer Tools.

You may try to update to the latest version v1.20.1

[gorynychzmey]

I've tried with v1.20.1 - nothing changed.

If data in Lovelace updates only when you reopen the tab - it means you have problem with frontend data updates.The integration does not interact with frontend

[gorynychzmey]

I don't know very well how the state machine works but I suppose that component somehow partially notifies Home Assistant about it have changed its state (or, to be precise, not the state itself but the attributes). At least states.sensor.flightradar24_additional_tracked.last_updated seems to be changing only when a flight is added or removed, but documentations says that last_updated reflects changes in the state and in the attributes.

[AlexandrErohin]

So said that - Lovelace updates only when you refresh the page or reopen the tab. It means that frontend doesnt get updates.

[gorynychzmey]

The frontend don't get updates from only this component - all other sensors are updated correctly. You could check it yourself by adding latitude, longitude and last_updated to markdown card:

content: >-
  {% set data = state_attr('sensor.flightradar24_additional_tracked', 'flights')
  %} {% for flight in data %}
    <img src="https://content.airhex.com/content/logos/airlines_{{flight.airline_icao}}_20_20_f.png?proportions=keep">{{ flight.flight_number }} - {{ flight.airline_short }} - {{ flight.aircraft_model }}
    {{ flight.airport_origin_city }}{%if flight.airport_origin_city %}<img src="https://flagsapi.com/{{ flight.airport_origin_country_code }}/shiny/16.png" title='{{ flight.airport_origin_country_name }}'/>{% endif %} -> {{ flight.airport_destination_city }}{%
    if flight.airport_destination_country_code %}<img src="https://flagsapi.com/{{ flight.airport_destination_country_code }}/shiny/16.png" title='{{ flight.airport_destination_country_name }}'/>{% endif %}
    Scheduled: {%if flight.time_scheduled_departure %}Departure - {{ flight.time_scheduled_departure | timestamp_custom('%H:%M') }}; {% endif %}{%if flight.time_scheduled_arrival%}Arrival - {{ flight.time_scheduled_arrival | timestamp_custom('%H:%M') }}{% endif %}
    Estimated: {%if flight.time_estimated_departure %}Departure - {{ flight.time_estimated_departure | timestamp_custom('%H:%M') }}; {% endif %}{%if flight.time_estimated_arrival%}Arrival - {{ flight.time_estimated_arrival | timestamp_custom('%H:%M') }}{% endif %}  
    Altitude - {{ flight.altitude }} ft{%if flight.altitude > 0 %} ({{(flight.altitude * 0.3048)| round(0)}} m){% endif%}; Gr. speed - {{ flight.ground_speed }} kts{%if flight.ground_speed > 0 %} ({{(flight.ground_speed * 1.852)| round(0)}} km/h){% endif%}
    Lat: {{ flight.latitude }}, lon: {{ flight.longitude }}
    [Open FlightRadar](https://www.flightradar24.com/{{ flight.callsign }}/{{flight.id }})        
  {% endfor %} {{ states.sensor.flightradar24_additional_tracked.last_updated }}

Then add some flight to tracked and look if it will be updated as expected.

@gorynychzmey I have succeeded to reproduce it and I have fixed it. Please try version v1.20.2

[gorynychzmey]

Now it updates as expected.

@gorynychzmey Dont forget please to give a star to the repo :)
