Re-send sensor states after Home Assistant comes back online

[N1c084]

Home Assistant does not keep non-retained MQTT states across a restart. On homeassistant/status "online" the add-on only republishes discovery and availability, so sensors reported on a fixed schedule stay unknown until their next report (up to 5 min), and change-only sensors until their next change.

on_ha_connected now starts republish_all_states() in the background (it runs under the discovery lock): 10 s and 60 s after HA comes online, every running inverter re-sends the last published value of each non-retained sensor. A value published meanwhile is sent again after ours; a failed send is logged and the pass goes on.

Hi, thank you for the PR. Why 10s and 60s?

Once we get the 'online' a single publish should be more than enough

Hi This is a precaution in case of Mqtt is not available at startup, but never appear after 10s we can remove the 60s if you want ? Le sam. 10 oct. 2026 à 15:55, Johann Kellerman ***@***.***> a écrit :

In on_ha_connected, MQTT is available and we already received "online" (or a timeout if HA is not configured correctly)

So, we can simplify this a lot by just calling a method like this (on AInverter) from on_ha_connected

async def republish_cached_sensors(self) -> None:
    """Re-send last MQTT-published non-retained states after HA comes online."""
    states = {
        asen: asen.value
        for asen in self.ss.values()
        if asen.entity
        and not asen.retain
        and asen.value is not None
        and asen.opt.schedule.report_every > 10
    }
    if states:
        await self.publish_sensors(states=states)

No delays and competing with other schedules. This will also not resend values for sensors that get published frequently (<10s from when this runs)
