Feature Request: Publish state when homeassistant/status = online
Problem: After Home Assistant restarts, the state of OpenBK devices is often shown as unknown, and device diagnostics are unavailable. Currently, the only ways to restore state are:
enable periodic status broadcast (adds MQTT traffic and unnecessary flash wear) [Flag 2 ON],
manually reboot the OpenBK device,
toggle the device so it publishes something.
All three options are inconvenient.
Proposed Solution: When the device receives the standard HA message
homeassistant/status online
it should immediately publish its full state (the same data normally published on broadcast interval).
Benefits:
Ensures HA quickly restores correct device state after restart.
Eliminates the need for periodic broadcasts (or allows them to be set to a much longer interval, e.g. 10 minutes).
Reduces MQTT traffic and flash wear.
Improves user experience: no manual toggling or rebooting required.
Summary: → Problem: after HA restart, OpenBK devices appear as unknown until they publish again. → Solution: publish full state once when HA announces itself online. → Result: correct state recovery, less traffic, more reliability.
Hm ok, can you check if it works ok? https://github.com/openshwprojects/OpenBK7231T_App/pull/1791 PS: where do you get flash wear?

Sorry, there was my mistake, related to another possible issue. Irrelevant to this topic.
