The problem
I'm experiencing an issue with the average_step statistics sensor in Home Assistant, which I'm using to monitor data from a brightness sensor. This brightness sensor only updates when there's a significant change in brightness.
Given that, if there's no change in brightness, the last value recorded by the brightness sensor might be older but still accurate.
According to my understanding, the "Keep last sample" option in the statistics sensor should retain and display this last sample value. However, this doesn't seem to be working as expected.
If the last recorded value from the brightness sensor is older than the configured "Max age" setting, the statistics sensor shows "Unknown" instead of retaining the last known value.
