To Fix:

• Disable "Restart state on reboot"
• Restart
• Wait a while till sensor data start to be updated again
• Re-enable "Restart state on reboot" again
• Restart again

And it should be fine again.

nope...it's stil lthe same in log

one device (with issue)

second device (no issue)

[Ernst79]

Try to run it for a while (> 24 hours) with "Restore state on reboot" disabled, and do a restart after that.

[to4ko]

no changes at all - units are still not updated

[to4ko]

on the second HA instance - both Inkbird sensors do not have UOMs? except temperature ones

[Ernst79]

Are you still having this issue? If so, try to delete the device from the BLE monitor settings, restart HA and re-add it after that?

[to4ko]

no changes at all. one device is still ok

and the second is not

[Ernst79]

Can you then try the following. Delete the device from the BLE monitor settings (delete device), restart HA and then run the service Passive BLE Monitor: Cleanup entries. You can find this service in the services menu under developer tools. After that, you can add the device again.

in case of yaml config - remove respective lines from list of devices, reboot HA, clean entities, revert back list of devices?

[Ernst79]

Yes, that should do the same I think
