Plant state unknown after update

[MD0005]

Hello. After update to v2024.11 all plants based on esp32 sensors have changed the state to unknown and attributes to null. Downgrading didnt resolve the issue.
Strangely plants based on Mija sensor are working properly.

Im not sure how to recover the proper plant entities to more than 15 plants :(

What is the status of the actual sensors (the physical source sensors that the plant device is copying the data from)

[MD0005]

Actual sensor is fine. Showing value. The value is also shown by the Plant Monitor Soil Moisture 'virtual' sensor. The issue is with the plant.x entity that is not evaluating related sensors.

Same here! 👎🏻

Same here.

Same here...

[Olen]

It would be really nice if anyone could provide slighty more info than "me too".
Some logs, some info about the sensor values, some debug output, your settings for what shold trigger a problem state...

Hi Olen,

I have update the plugin too 2024.11 and the card in beta (but he doesn't work in section anymore :()

Underneath is my log. But I think I know what might be the cause. Im using ESP32 to get the conductivity and temperature. I have disabled all other entities under these plants that I was sure I will be not using (f.e. air humidity). I didnt wanted to keep so many artifical entities with status 'unknown'. With previous version it was working, with the new version, the main plant.x entity is not working with even one sub-entity disabled.

If you have the same issue, after you enable back the other entities, remember to restart HA.
After restart, all works again 👍

Sounds like this can be related to the translateable units of measurements that I think are new.

Not sure how to fix that in a hurry

[eUwSqBTm]

I got mine working again by enabling all the disabled entities under sensors (my sensors only do temp/moisture) and then reinstalling the home assistant plant integration.

My ESP32 ones that have all the sensors never stopped working.

[Olen]

Have you also updated the list of sensors that should trigger a "problem" status?
Could it be a mismatch between the sensors there and the sensors provided by the esp32 integration?

[klaptafel]

I only use the soil moisture as problem trigger, and only the Dli entities were disabled (all 3). This situation caused the 'unknown' state. Enabling the 3 Dli entities and restarting Home Assistant fixed it.

However, ideally when not using the other categories as problem triggers it should be no issue to disable them (either manually or maybe even automatically after (re)configuring).
