Onkyo receiver is not updating when offline

[dawiinci]

The problem

When I switch on power to the receiver and it is already set to on, the media player shows the receiver is on after about 25 seconds.
However, if I switch off the power, while the receiver is still on, it will stay on forever.

If I restart HA the media player reports the device as off, which is correct. The plugin should report the device as off, if it is not able to get the state (offline, without power).

Since I can't constantly restart HA, how can I update this entity?

Any insights on this or is it impossible?

I have the same problem as soon as the "network standby" mode is deactivated. (TX-NR-656)
When "Network Standby" mode is enabled, HA detects when the Onkyo is turned off.
However, the Onkyo consumes more power in this mode.
Home Assistant should ensure less power consumption and not more :)

Since I need to build automation on the state, a solution to the problem would be helpful.

Third party plugins can be reloaded, so they update the status properly. Unfortunately, this is not possible for integrated plugins, like Onkyo. Restarting HA helps, but that's not always appropriate.

Any advice?

[rubinho76]

A manual reload is also not helpful.
You would have to start the Onkyo once after each reboot of HA and reload the plugin. It would be more sensible to query Zone 2 after the Onkyo has been switched on.
For this the integration must be modified.

There is a different version of the onkyo component here: #59518 might be worth trying it and seeing if you get the same issue with that.

It has been stuck in a merge hell for a long time but I've been using it successfully for a while.

All the onkyo failures with the recent release reminded me that I'm not using the one that is in the Home assistant and really needs a refresh.
