Your comment:

If platforms get loaded multiple times the calculation will be wrong.

If HA allows for platforms "get loaded multiple times" - then may be HA should consider these possible cases? I.e. this is not just a "problem in custom component", this is "HA does not consider this case".

It's not possible to detect every incorrect way that an integration may write their code.

t's not possible to detect every incorrect way that an integration may write their code.

Agree. But my point is: -- since some platform may be "get loaded multiple times" - then this could happen since HA allows to do it "multiple times"; -- then either HA should disable this possibility (i.e. a platform may be loaded one time only); -- or HA should consider these "get loaded multiple times" cases as a possible scenario when calculating a "startup time".

See, I know nothing about HA internals, my proposals are only based on you explanation.

It wouldn’t make sense to try to work out the timings for a component that doesn’t await its platform setups since it has a much larger problem that it could get reloaded while its platforms are being setup. Once the component fixes that the timings will be correct.Since the custom component runs at the same privilege level as HA, there is nothing we can do to prevent a custom component from loading platforms without awaiting their setup. IMHO, it’s a good thing that it returns a nonsensical result since it makes it obvious there is a problem with the custom component that needs to be fixed as otherwise it would have probably gone unnoticed Sent from my iPhoneOn May 17, 2024, at 2:23 AM, ildar170975 @.***> wrote:

Thanks for explanation. Will open an issue for this integration.

@bdraco Shall I close THIS issue?

For the record - issue for Gismeteo integration - https://github.com/Limych/ha-gismeteo/issues/191

[bdraco]

Yes

[ildar170975]

Again for the record - the author of Gismeteo integration declines that this "negative startup time" could be a "integration issue". https://github.com/Limych/ha-gismeteo/issues/191#issuecomment-2117664356

yes, the time in your picture is strange, but this does not in any way affect the correctness of work of the integration. This means this is NOT an integration issue.
