Traccar: device_tracker is not available by the time of `homeassistant.start`

[ildar170975]

The problem

Starting from 2024.5, I see that device_tracker ALWAYS not ready by the time when homeassistant.start event is sent.

alias: test_traccar
description: ""
trigger:
  - platform: homeassistant
    event: start
condition: []
action:
  - service: persistent_notification.create
    metadata: {}
    data:
      message: >-
        {{ states('device_tracker.iphone_5s_traccar') }}
mode: single

This gives unavailable in notification. Although the device_tracker.iphone_5s_traccar entity seems to be OK when I open more-info right after HA start.

It did not happen before 2024.5.

Hey there @ludeeus, mind taking a look at this issue as it has been labeled with an integration (traccar_server) you are listed as a code owner for? Thanks!

I see that device_tracker is unavailable during reboot:

Cannot say for sure was it unavailable before 2024.5. But it was definitely available after homeassistant.start.

I have tried to look but could not see any documentation that say that all entities will have gotten an updated state when that event is fired. That will impact all entities for push integrations, so I would expect there to be documentation for it, can you point me to where you have that from?

[ildar170975]

I am not following an official docs for HA developers. This is needed for HA developers, not HA users. As a user - I say that earlier (before 2024.5) device_trackers for Traccar did not have these gaps in history. This is my opinion, this is what I remember. Ofc I could be wrong. Then you please tell me that I am wrong and Traccar integration never restored it's last state after HA reboot.

I confirm, I have now returned to version XA 2024.1. Traccar works perfectly in it. In version 2024.5, the sensors actually go into the unavailable state when rebooted.

Well, the sensors constantly stop updating... https://github.com/home-assistant/core/issues/116628

[ildar170975]

Just checked with 2024.6.1 - and see no unavailable gaps during HA reboots:

Cannot say if there were any related changes in a code of Traccar server integration.

Closing the issue now. Please let me know if it should be reopened.

[ildar170975]

Reopening, still see it sometimes. Erratic behaviour.

There is an unavailable gap during HA reboot (a below graph is for HA uptime):
