Since sensor.next_alarm is only updated when the alarm state changes, the state remains “unknown” until my next alarm fires or I add, remove, or change the next alarm. The only other way the state gets updated is if I open the companion app, navigate to the next_alarm state, and open it. The issue I’m trying to solve is running an automation prior to my alarm time. I run Home Assistant as a docker on Unraid, and Unraid restarts all dockers while I’m asleep to perform it’s AppData backup. This means the next_alarm state falls back to “unkown” until my alarm goes off, and by then it’s too late. My current workaround uses the Tasker app to run a profile at the same time each morning to 1) get my next alarm time, 2) set an alarm for 1 minute before that, 3) cancel the alarm it just set. By doing this, it gets Home Assistant to update sensor.next_alarm for my phone. I would much prefer to get something working natively in Home Assistant so I don’t have to rely on Tasker. Is there something I can implement that forces sensor.next_alarm to hold the last value or actively get a new one after a restart? Does anyone know if this qualifies as a feature or a bug?

Sensors | Home Assistant Companion Docs (home-assistant.io) And there is a command added, never tried it though Add notification command to update sensors by dshokouhi · Pull Request #2194 · home-assistant/android (github.com) And it’s also listed here: Notification Commands | Home Assistant Companion Docs (home-assistant.io) With this command you could create an automation to trigger on HA restart and send the command to the phone. dshokouhi September 7, 2022, 5:27am 3 The Android app keeps track of the last sent state and it will not send an update if the state didn’t change so the command won’t help here. I believe this issue is https://github.com/home-assistant/core/issues/77106 Hellis81 (Hellis81) September 7, 2022, 6:37am 4 I just updated my app to the latest beta version on playstore and rebooted HA. The sensor was unavailable for a minute or so then it came back as normal again. KomradeNikolai September 7, 2022, 11:41am 5 @dshokouhi That indeed appears to be the issue, thanks. I wasn’t finding the issue via Google, but I didn’t think to check the GitHub. @Hellis81 I just tried the beta app too. When I first installed it, the alarm time was updated. But when I restarted HA, next_alarm has remained “unknown” for at least 12 minutes and counting. Briggy (Brigitte) September 7, 2022, 1:06pm 6 I have the same problem When I restart HA, status is unknown. So I have to turn off & on my alarm to get the status back. dshokouhi September 7, 2022, 1:18pm 7 Hellis81: I just updated my app to the latest beta version on playstore and rebooted HA. The sensor was unavailable for a minute or so then it came back as normal again. That’s because when the app version or HA core changes the app will re-register the sensors which forces a new state to show. Hellis81 (Hellis81) September 7, 2022, 3:05pm 8 I updated first and had it running that way for a couple of minutes then restarted HA. I did the same thing again: image924×424 22.6 KB I don’t get this behaviour, this time the alarm time was correct from when I could connect to HA again. KomradeNikolai September 8, 2022, 10:51am 9 This appears to be fixed in version 2022.9. Even if my phone is unreachable (e.g. powered off), upon restart, the next_alarm value is still retained.
