Not working at all if one entity is Unavailable

[bob-tm]

custom_components\presence_simulation__init__.py I just commented line 115 raise Exception("Entity is not known by HA, see log for more details")

If one entity is Unavailable - then loop breaks by raise Exception, so presence simulation not working. Please check all code for this situation.

for entity in entities:
            #to make it asyncable, not sure it is needed
            await asyncio.sleep(0)
            if hass.states.get(entity) is None:
                _LOGGER.error("Error when trying to identify entity %s, it seems it doesn't exist", entity)
                # raise Exception("Entity is not known by HA, see log for more details")
            else:
                if 'entity_id' in  hass.states.get(entity).attributes:
                    #get the list of the associated entities
                    #the entity_id attribute will be filled for groups or light groups
                    group_entities = hass.states.get(entity).attributes["entity_id"]
                    #and call recursively, in case a group contains a group
                    group_entities_expanded = await async_expand_entities(group_entities)
                    _LOGGER.debug("State %s", group_entities_expanded)
                    entities_new += group_entities_expanded
                else:
                    _LOGGER.debug("Entity %s has no attribute entity_id, it is not a group nor a light group", entity)
                    entities_new.append(entity)
        return entities_new

This should only occur of you reference an entity that doesn't exist, not if the entity was just Unavailable

Could you please verify that the entity identifier you use in the presence simulation does exist in : ?

[bob-tm]

It's exists, but unavailable. Wled entity. Anyway, if it doesn't exists - it will break any presence simulation. If groups were created long time ago - it is very difficulty to identify what is broken, because HA UI do not show any problems with presence simulation group.

Ok I understand. I can keep the ERROR log, remove the Exception, and just check that there is at least a valid entity before launching the simulation
