Describe the bug

the device is turned on as soon as there is enough power. This works well. But in the evening there is not enough power the device is not turned off. The Logs say that power production is not valued. but according to homeassistant it has the value 0. What can i do?

Power production is not valued. Solar Optimizer will be disabled

Hello, yes this is something I also have seen. I will fix that. The bug is, when the production is 0 or undefined, the calculation stops but forget to turn off all device.

Thank you

Tried to fix this by deactivating the devices like this:

        power_production = get_safe_float(self.hass, self._power_production_entity_id)
        if not power_production:
            _LOGGER.warning(
                "Power production is not valued. Solar Optimizer will be disabled"
            )
            for _, device in enumerate(self._devices):
                await device.deactivate()
            return None

But i get the following error in the logs: Logger: homeassistant.helpers.service Quelle: helpers/service.py:301

Referenced entities light.bad_eg are missing or not currently available

As im new to python and ha development i do not know why this is happening. Can you point me in the right direction?

would it make sense to simply return 0 if the power is not valued instead of aborting ?

Thank you I will test that.
