Panasonic Viera turn_on_action not working with 2024.8.0

[peteS-UK]

The problem

The Panasonic Viera integration supports a custom turn_on_action, defined in configuration.yaml, where you can define a service (aka action) call to turn on a tv which requires WOL for example. This worked fine with 2024.7, but doesn't work with 2024.8.

This was previously defined with a service: entry in yaml, which is changed to action: in 2024.8 documention. If you change the yaml to action:, this is ignored by the integration completely. If you leave it as service:, you get the error.

Having deleted the config and re-added with either service: or action: in the yaml the entity is always Unavailable - with 2024.8 it doesn't process the turn_on_action at all

After deleting the config, rebooting, adding the config to yaml (with either service: or action:), and rebotting again with the tv turned on, it works again. So, I guess you need to read a new config for the service to action changes perhaps. Anyway, working again, so closing now.
