Calendar/Schedule not updating on long running HA instance

[tinuva]

I find that if my HA is not restarted for a long period, the calendar/schedule eventually stops updating.

In the area/zone entity sensor.load_shedding_area_capetown_6_durbanville, I see the following attributes:

Forecast
- stage: 1
start_time: '2023-03-29T03:00:00+00:00'
end_time: '2023-03-29T04:30:00+00:00'

I seem to be on version 1.3.0

See the difference between HA and ESP:

Hmm...anything in the Logs?
What's the attributes for the stage and area sensors in Dev Tools?

Havent seen anything in the logs.

The stage sensor was up to date. the attributes for hte area is in the OP.

Hmm...I see...not updating the forecast, because the area schedule is not updating every day as it should.
I wonder if it has something to do with it being the end of the month. Will check if it updates tomorrow.

Interesting that yours and mine both were last updated March 23, 2023 🤔

I've had the same issue before and had it again this week, this evening, I hit reload, and it sorted it out, and it loaded the latest schedules. It does feel like a month-end issue because I have tried that before to no avail.

Mine was doing the same thing with my area sensor, I see the last update was on 26 March, I hit reload under Devices and it's working again. The Eskom load shedding sensor kept updating correctly, though.

I suppose the workaround in the meantime is to set up an automation to reload the integration every 3-5 days

Same issue here.
