Longer wait time before marking an entity unavailable

Feature Requests
1

Any chance in the next release of increasing the time allowed before marking an entity unavailable.
I’m using colourT as well and none of the Shelly units I have have are in poor signal strength locations. The worst ones for flipping between unobtainable and functional are with 2mtrs of a router or extender, Both have sensors as well as switch functionality.
Previous releases I have not seen this happening, and when ever HA says unavailable I can log straight in to the device directly., I have only 22 devices on 2.4 GHz and 5 on 5 GHz wifi, plus 15 on direct ethernet connections.
TIA

What HA version are you running and what firmware are there on the Shelly?

HA core had an issue in version 2024.7.0, which I think was patched in 2024.7.1 and some Shelly devices with firmware 1.4.0 had issues, which should have been fixed in version 1.4.1.

Hi, thanks for the reply
HA 2024.9.1
the worst of the the shelly devices:-
one shelly device has
20230913-113709/v1.14.0-gcb84623
the other has
20230913-113709/v1.14.0-gcb84623
both devices claim to have the latest firmware
Both are both are Shelly 1-pm , with the temperature sensor modules.
Shelly have changed the shelly1-PM and it no longer has the header exposed for the
temperature sensor module, so I cant easily use a later device.
I was stuck on a version from 2023 , as the SBC I use for HA did not have an up to date version of Python, I’ve now updated the OS , ubuntu24, , so was able to use the latest version of HA.

Have you activated “Enable CoIoT” on the Gen1?

Unfortunately, 3 Shelly 1PMs have already said goodbye to me and were then no longer accessible (hardware defective)

colorT activated on all devices, and to the port stated in the docs. both devices have rssi of at least -40 dBm.
I had no problems with the earlier version of HA I was using

There is a thread about the Shelly firmware here and it seems the version I was referring to is a beta version.

Thanks , I had a look at the thread , it is for gen 2 & 3 and the Shelly 1-PM I have are Gen 1As the devices are only becoming unavailable for a few minutes at a time. Increasing the time before HA decides they are unavailable would fix this.
AS I said I was stuck with a 2023 version of HA due to the OS version not having an up to date version of python.
When the OS was undated I was able to update HA to 2024.9.1, this has only happened since upgrading HA. These two Shelly 1 PM are fairly critical as they have the temperature sensors for room temp and the hot water temp, and now winter is approaching the heating is on, so when unavailable the heating control is lost . Luckily I also read the temperatures every 10 minutes , as well as triggering on threshold.

Have you thought about switching to ESP32 with ESPHome? More than 3x DS18b20 than the Gen1 Shelly AddOn (or 5 with the Plus AddOn)

I tested it with an ESP32 with 9x DS18b20 and 2x DHTx

not sure of the meaning ?
