core: Speedtest.net goes unavailable and does not recover

The problem

Sensors in the speedtest.net integration appear to go unavailable and do not recover, and get stuck. While this home assistant may see temporary network issues, it generally appears to be healthy and other integrations that rely on cloud are working OK. The issue seems to be about being unable to recover once broken.

I attempted to enable debug logging, and reloaded the integration, then noticed it appears that the integration may throw a CancelledError which ends up not being handled correctly by the update coordinator. It does not set “success” correctly. I think because this exception is not handled right, so it may get stuck? See details below.

This may be similar to other reports like #80290 and #85375 however those reports may be more generic about general unavailability issues. I’d like to focus this on the fact that it gets stuck since I haven’t seen others report this specific stack trace before, however, the root cause may be the same.

@cinghialino The automation which works for me is:

  accidental failure of the integration.

I’d suggest taking the workaround discussion to the community forums, and keep this focused on resolving the root cause issue.

I have done the same, I inject a time stamp every 5 mins, if the Entity is ‘unavailable’ I reload it

I have had the same issue. I ended up making an automation that reloads the speed test integration when its status becomes unavailable. Been working like a charm since.
