ADS Cover Entities Unavailable After Latest Update

[webDDMS]

The problem

After updating to the latest version of HAC, all entities with the identifier "cover".abc are no longer available within the system.

Any attempt to access or interact with these cover.abc entities results in an error message indicating that these entities are no longer provided by ADS. This critical issue (P1) affects both user experience and the reliability of core functionalities that were stable and fully operational prior to this version.

Hi all! I took a look at it, but could not reproduce the issue. My system works as intended.

Core 2024.10.4 Supervisor 2024.10.3 Operating System 13.2 Frontend 20241002.4

Could you tell me more information maybe?

I found this in the protokol:

Hello everybody, my Homeassistant returns the exact same contents in the debug log as Manni666's:

The difference in my case is, that this is my very first cover I'm setting up via ADS. Instead of a missing connection between existing cover entities and my PLC, the integration doesn't create the cover entity in the first place (but if it would there propably wouldn't be a connection either). The usual behaviour of the integration would be, no matter the device type, to create an entity, regardless of an existing connection to the PLC or not.

My system is running HAOS HA OS: 13.2 HA Core: tried both 2024.10.3 and 2024.10.4 HA Supervisor: 2024.10.3

Could you please share the YAML entry where you set up the cover entity?

[WischAufPferd]

  - platform: ads
    adsvar: PRG_2_OG.fb_5J1_Kind1_Roll.bStateHA
