Grott Retain Issues: Troubleshooting Status Unavailability After Home Assistant Restarts

[LightMoon]

Hi!

I'm not sure if this is due to a misconfiguration or a genuine bug, but I've noticed that the Grott States become unavailable whenever Home Assistant restarts. The issue persists till receiving new message from the inverter.
