Android version: 10
Phone model: LG G8S ThinQ - LM-G810EAW
Home Assistant version: 2021.2.3
Last working Home Assistant release (if known): Possibly 2020.12 or 2021.1 but could be related to app version
Description of problem:
Next alarm sensor doesn’t trigger for a LG G8 sensor but does for a Samsung S20. No errors visible in the log.
Example simple automation:
- alias: zzztest
trigger:
- platform: time
at: sensor.lm_g810_next_alarm
action:
- service: light.turn_on
entity_id: light.test_lights
State is reported as:
2021-03-01T11:46:00.000Z

The S20 has the same state timestamp format but the state attributes “Package” is not unknown so maybe this is the issue?:

I just tested the scenario on my end and I do not see any issues with the alarm being recurring, the state changed to the next scheduled alarm in the Google Clock app. Have you checked that your HA system time is correct and that your cell phone time is up to date?
We will not be adding any delays to a sensor reporting interval I’m sorry. This sensor updates as soon as it gets a state change.
I’ve just looked at the time differences and for some reason my phone was +5s ahead. After a reboot it’s corrected itself and also testing the alarm, it no longer goes to unavailable when sounding. Strange. I think I will stay with the minutes before sensor just in case it reoccurs. Thanks again for your help.
