Yes, it describes how it is working now. But it’s wrong. change is when value changes. update is when value is updated to up-to-date value, even if unchanged. So the timestamp should be updated each time it’s received from sensor.

Yeah no. It’s correct. That was how it was decided to work. Not some random user on the forums who thinks it’s wrong.

well if last_seen is implemented, I don’t really care as long as it works. However last_updated is still implemented wrong as it is.
