Manual Reload of Integration required

[kellerassel007]

Last night I noticed an outage of the sensor data. It required a reload of the sensor settings and then it worked again instantly. The days before it worked without any outage, any clues?

Debug log:

worked from here again after reload of sensor settings

My workaround is to build an automation that monitors my sensor and trigger reload in case the sensor is unavailable for at least 1 hour:

trigger:
  - platform: state
    entity_id:
      - sensor.<YOUR_SENSOR_ENTITY_ID>
    to: unavailable
    for:
      hours: 1
      minutes: 0
      seconds: 0
  - platform: state
    entity_id:
      - sensor.<YOUR_SENSOR_ENTITY_ID>
    to: unknown
    for:
      hours: 1
      minutes: 0
      seconds: 0
condition: []
action:
  - service: homeassistant.reload_config_entry
    data:
      entry_id: "{{ config_entry_id('sensor.<YOUR_SENSOR_ENTITY_ID>') }}"

Same error here. Can someone please look into this?

Hi can you let me know the following:

• HomeAssistant version
• OpenWeatherMapHistory Version
• What operating system and hardware you are using

I can't replicate the problem on my systems:

• RapberryPI4 and HA OS 13.0 and 2024.8 Home assistant
• Dev environment Docker/Windows

I am using the latest BETA 2.0.14 of OWM

Thanks for your support! This is a rare error, which only happened once for me in the last 2 months since I use this integration.

I think I have found the issue here, the refresh rate has been published with my testing frequency. I will release a version with the normal 30 minute refresh (OWM only updated once an hour).

The only time I had a similar issue is when I exceed the allocated calls. Hopefully this change resolves the immediate issue. I also need to update the code to handle the situation more cleanly, maybe add a status value that can be displayed as a sensor.

I will publish the new version in the next day or so.

Thank you and keep up the great work!

V2.0.15 release, only change is the refresh rate
