spent way too much time troubleshooting this and thinking it was a problem with my AD…should have come here first.
This is a major breaking change for all that rely on this component for their security.
If a fix isn’t incoming, could we get this added to the Breaking Changes? This component is nearly unusable in the current state.
I think you are correct in that RF sensors do report after a period but the hard-wired ones never do. For example, my flood sensor which is hard-wired into the panel still shows unknown after several days.
