Hisense TV Sensor not available

[UncleLeoTheDad]

Hi!

I've gone through through the entire installation with MQTT (you helped me several weeks ago), but I am finding that the Hisense TV Sensor is always unavailable. I've tried to uninstall and reinstall the integration and have double checked my IP/Mac Address settings, but nothing seems to change the situation. The log files looks fairly healthy to me, but perhaps you will see something I am not.

Ultimately I am trying to restore this as I want to be able to get and set the current TV source via HA, but when I inspect the state object of the switch, sensor and media player, I don't see an entry for source. I'm guessing it's supposed to be under sensor and it's not showing as the sensor is unavailable.

Here's the log: Home Assistant Log on Startup

Here are some supporting images:

The sensor should be available when the TV is ON. Under Developer -> States you won't see all attributes. You have to go to the Control pane of the sensor itself.

The sensor is read-only, so you won't be able to change the source. The media player should support it via the UI component, but I never tried it programatically.

Apologies if I'm being a knucklehead, but I can't find that view that you are showing. If I open up the entities view:

And then click on sensor.hisense_tv, as it appears that you are, I get this:

Expanding "advanced settings" shows this:

Info shows this:

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks!

Here are the associated logs with "hisense_tv" in them. Is it normal for the sensor to "Skip update" so often?

If I click on the sensor, there is the control icon in the upper right corner.

It looks like you have a newer version of HA. I can't tell you where they moved it.

Here are the associated logs with "hisense_tv" in them. Is it normal for the sensor to "Skip update" so often?

yes. the integration only force updates the TV settings every 5 minutes. I added this limitation, because I don't know how the TV behaves if it gets flooded with MQTT requests. If some settings/inputs change in meantime, the TV broadcasts the change itself.
