Sensor.backup_state not available

Hi After starting HA the sensor.backup_state is initially not present. After ca a minute or so, it appears. Initial view : After a minute it loads but the customization setting I made for the icon is ignored. I observed this error in the supervisor log. Not sure it is related:

21-09-12 10:49:02 ERROR (MainThread) [supervisor.api.ingress] Stream error with http://172.30.33.5:8099/static/images/bmc-button.svg: Cannot write to closing transport

This is a limitation in how the addon publishes its sensors. You won’t be able to do things like:

• Change the name
• Customize attributes (icon, class, etc) In addition the sensor is unavailable when HA first starts because the addon needs to “notice” that HA has restarted and start publishing again. To mitigate these problems I’ll need to write an “integration” that properly publishes values to Home Assistant. This is something I plan to do, but I will need to find the time. No promises yet on when I’ll be able to do it.

Closing this for now, but feel free to reopen it if you think there is something else I can help with.
