Please fix the link to logs. Also try migrating back to previous version to confirm the issue is caused by the update.

Done! But...

Something unexpected happened with the previous version (5.4.13): the battery level sensor disappeared... it doesn't even appear among the hidden entities.

Can confirm the issue

I checked the logs for SD card as well as tapoBatterySensor entities, and they are added properly according to logs. So there must be some other error going on which I can't really tell from the logs.

Does this happen consistently - it never comes up?

Hi,

yes, I can confirm that the battery sensor is completely absent and does not appear among the camera entities.

I have lost the battery sensor on my doorbell

Had came to terms with it thinking a feature was removed, until stumbling across this. Having the same issue. It used to work, but can't tell when it stopped (have been using the entity in a dashboard monitoring battery levels for all devices).

Edit: Enabled debug logs and found that the battery levels were acknowledged on a restart of HA:

Waiting for entity updates, but could only see my standalone cameras updating in the logs (C200 and C310), not the two C420 which are linked to the H200 hub.

Edit 2: masked second halves of MAC addresses, and removed latitude/longitude values
