OwnTracks: Cannot subscribe to topic 'owntracks/#'

syphernl commented 1 month ago

The problem

I use several trackers to determine my location. I noticed that for the past few HomeAssistant releases (probably going back at least 2~3 months) my OwnTracks status seems to be stuck at "Home" and hasn't registered any moments I have been away. The integration shows no errors whatsoever, but in the logs there is one mention of OwnTracks (see below) which is probably the cause for this.

It appears that the OwnTracks integration doesn't make attempts to retry when it encounters this error. When I manually reload the integration entry it works again.

What version of Home Assistant Core has the issue?

core-2024.7.2

What was the last working version of Home Assistant Core?

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

Additional information

It claims my "MQTT may not be set up correctly". It actually is working just fine, all of my other MQTT-based integrations (e.g. Zigbee2MQTT with many devices) work just fine.
