REST Sensor with Scan Interval Not Evaluated On YAML Reload #132427
Open
Description
The problem
Created multiple sensors with a very long scan interval. When I reload the YAML configuration they go into an "unknown" state.
Once the time of that scan_interval has passed, it calls the endpoint and I get a valid value for my sensor.
I would expect that when I reload the YAML it would make a call to update the endpoint regardless of the scan interval. Otherwise it looks like the sensor isn't working.

Additional information
So in the example provided. When you reload the YAML, that sensor will show "unknown", then after 2 minutes it will update to a valid value.
