Utility Meter may suffer from a race condition during startup #132004

The problem

Depending on the hardware the Home Assistant installation is running I find a number of Utility Meters that are dependant on ESPHome devices in this state:

These devices take rather long to come up after a HA reboot (about 30 seconds longer than the gas meter device also connected via ESPhome).

With the sensors in this state all I can do is modify the helper to point to a different input sensor, update it and change it back to the original input sensor. After that procedure for every single utility meter that is not working things are back to normal.

The logs don't show anything regarding the helpers.

What version of Home Assistant Core has the issue?

core-2024.11.1

Additional information

I guess I will need some instruction for logging and monitoring Utility Meter during startup.

Utility Meter depends exclusively of the source sensor, there is nothing running in parallel

Most certainly the issue lies on your esphome source that is not updating often, therefore the utility meter will stay unavailable until the source updates.
