Thanks for reporting this. I don't have any devices that sleep but you are correct, Battery+ should restore its state.

The new beta 2.3.12 now has this change, if you are able to validate I'll close this issue.

[andrew-codechimp]

Feedback from #1843 suggests this isn't fixed unfortunately.
Sorry, there is just something odd about the Shelly Door/Window sensor that's not getting it identified as a having a battery.
There's little I can do about this without having one to test myself so having to close this as unfixable.

[chemelli74]

Hi,

The point is that those entities should be restored entity in order to work correctly.

Thank you for considering the code change.

[andrew-codechimp]

The latest beta does change them to restored entities but doesn't seem to have an effect.
It was a worthwhile change and may help with others but doesn't seem to fix the Shelly sensor.

Will better investigate as soon as ai have the time for this task

@andrew-codechimp is this problem fixed? I have a similar experience with all of my Shelly TRVs. When they are awake and I add them to HA Battery Notes everything is working as expected. After some time all Battery+ Sensors get unavailable. There is no chance to get them back working except to delete the device and read it. Shall I open another new issue?

[andrew-codechimp]

I made these entities restore entities so thought they were fixed but if you are running the latest version then that appears not to made a difference.

Unfortunately I don't have any of these devices to be able to test this further so I don't have a way to fix this for these devices.

@andrew-codechimp thanks for the info, even if that is of course a great pity. ;)

[andrew-codechimp]

I will reopen this issue just as a reminder to myself if I ever get a device to test or more inspiration.

Hi @andrew-codechimp, is there anything I/we can do to help?

Hi @andrew-codechimp, is there anything I/we can do to help?

Thanks but I think I'll have to read through the Shelly BLE code to see if there's anything odd there I need to handle.
I have some BLE devices myself (Xiaomi plant sensors) that do come back so it's not all BLE devices that have the issue.

[confucius78]

Okay, well let me/us know if that changes. Happy to help. Actually it’s also not just BLE. I have them on wifi, but same issue 😉

Good to know, I'll expand my scope to the whole Shelly integration then.
