The Things Network device is not available

JoramQ commented 4 years ago

The problem

The Things Network integration is taking the information from The Things Network Data Integration. By default on a query to the API it will give you the data of the last hour. If there is no data in the last hour the API will return 204 no content. My sensor gives data every 4 hours so a big change that there is no data. Home assistant will catch this error and therefore not add the sensor in the system. Even if on a later time there is a value.

Additional information

I've fixed it for me to add the 'last' parameter as optional in the configuration and add this to the API request. So i can put the parameter at 4 hours and its working. I've put it in a branch for a change but I'm just not sure if this is the good solution. https://github.com/JoramQ/core/tree/ttn-api-last It might be possible to put the last parameter higher by default or maybe only on the first request. But these changes are a bit difficult for me to do.
