No lightning geo_location events get created running version 1.3.1 in Core 2024.3.3 (docker).

[BJReplay]

Service info Lightning Detector Version: 1.3.1

Core 2024.3.3 Frontend 20240307.0

No lightning geo_location events get created.

It looks like there's a clash between HA core 2024.3.3 and the lightning detector version 1.3.1

I set up last night with a very wide radius (5000 km) and got errors, but now that we have a storm nearby, I'm seeing the same error with close by strikes.

Debug logging lists the same sequence of errors every time there is a strike.

Thanks for posting! I've had this working for while now but just noticed that while we are having a big storm here now, the entities for the lightning counter, distance etc. still work and my automations still tell me when there is a close strike however I have the exact same issue that I was just chasing, nothing is created on the map anymore... Not sure when it stopped working as it has been a while between storms for me but I am on HA core 2024.3.3 and lightning detector version 1.3.1. My logs looks similar too:

Same issue for me, nothing is created on the map anymore.

[ezfrag2021]

Same for me. Everything working except the LS symbols on the map no longer appear.

Seems like the error is with the upgrade in the new core... Haven't found a changelog that this cooresponds to besides the python SQL stuff.

sqlalchemy/orm/mapper.py:3936: RuntimeWarning: coroutine 'EntityPlatform._async_add_entity' was never awaited

[r1chards]

Same thing here, stopped working. I managed to get this working by addding a device tracker but if I remember correctly this should just happen automatically and show the LS on the map, without having to creat a separate automation.

[BJReplay]

Judging by the errors being logged, and the commit history for entity_platform.py, and the release history for HA core, this commit for this PR has led to this failure.

I don't know enough to speculate more about what has caused this, but it looks like there are two changes: eager_start=True, at L483 in entity_platform.py and L499 in entity_platform.py and results = await asyncio.gather(*tasks, return_exceptions=True)

The definition of async_add_entities states

        """Add entities for a single platform async.

        This method must be run in the event loop.
        """

and the error message finishes with RuntimeError: no running event loop

Just another instance of something that should have rolled to dev or beta before rolling it into production CORE.

[scottbob09]

2024.4.3 not fixed. I tried mashing the code, but its beyond my skills.

[mrk-its]

fixed by https://github.com/mrk-its/homeassistant-blitzortung/commit/f9021aac8383e6ce4798f1f206b5b96c9da41463

[BJReplay]

Will test later today (I will find a storm and set up the integration as if I am nearby).

Thanks.

[BJReplay]

Thank you so much. Changed my location to Port Vila and the map is recording strikes. Thanks so much for this integration and for the fix.

[gabrymed]

Thanks for the fix!
