Forecast not updating

[robic77]

Often the sensors show forecasts for past hours/days. So sensor for today will show yesterday's date and temperature. Reloading the integration doesn't help.

Check logs for exceptions or errors please

[robic77]

No errors in logs. Restarting HA updates the forecast but no further update afterwards.

[GuyKh]

There's a periodic update that runs in the background. It's either failing to update or the data in IMS is stale. in order to understand this, I need DEBUG logs

[ayavilevich]

Here are reproduce instructions that make the integration stop updating. tl;dr, use "Reload" integration to cause the issue. Restart HA to make it work again.

Full instructions: Open: http://ha:8123/config/integrations/integration/ims Click 3-dot menu Click "Reload" Data fetching stops.

Relevant log where reload was done at 18:52:15:

then no log entries for many hours.

I suspect this is also caused by changing the value "Minutes to wait between updates". I didn't check explicitly. Hope it helps.

[GuyKh]

I'll check. Thanks :)
