TemperatureAPI continued polling the Open-Meteo endpoint even after toggling temperature_enable off via the UI, and the component incorrectly reported as unhealthy in the dashboard.

Two bugs:

  • Stale enable flag: run() read self.temperature_enable cached at init time (from apps.yaml). A UI toggle writes to an HA entity state, not apps.yaml, so the cached value was never updated and polling continued regardless.
  • Missing health timestamp: When temperature_enable=False, run() returned early without calling update_success_timestamp(). The health check considers any component with no success update in 60+ minutes as dead, triggering the "Demand (unhealthy)" banner.

Fixes (temperature.py):

  • Re-read temperature_enable live on every run() call via get_arg(), so UI toggle changes take effect without a restart:
    temperature_enable = self.get_arg("temperature_enable", self.temperature_enable)
    if not temperature_enable:
        self.update_success_timestamp()  # keep health check green
        return True

Test updates (tests/test_temperature.py):

  • Added get_arg() to MockTemperatureAPI to satisfy the dynamic lookup.
  • Updated _test_run_disabled to assert that update_success_timestamp() is called when the component is disabled.

Pull request overview

This PR targets the TemperatureAPI component to ensure it behaves correctly when temperature_enable is toggled off at runtime (stop polling external endpoints) and to keep the component health status from showing as unhealthy when disabled.

Changes:

  • Updates TemperatureAPI.run() to call update_success_timestamp() before returning early when disabled.
  • Extends the temperature component test mock to include a get_arg() method.
  • Updates the “disabled” run test to assert the success timestamp is updated while disabled.

Reviewed changes

File Description
apps/predbat/temperature.py Marks the component healthy when temperature_enable is false by updating the success timestamp before returning.
apps/predbat/tests/test_temperature.py Adds get_arg() to the mock and strengthens the disabled-path test to require a health timestamp update.
