Zigbee devices not reporting in 2021.11.0 as they did in 2021.10.X

I have two Zigbee devices that are no longer reporting battery level in 2021.11.0 as they did in 2021.10.X. First device is a smartthings water sensor that no longer reports battery level. I removed it from the configuration and re-added it, but still not reporting battery level. The second device is a smartthings door sensor. It too is not reporting battery level. I have an identical one that seems to be functioning fine. I have not removed the door sensor from the configuration yet. All other functions from both devices seem to be working fine. The water sensor reports water when tested and the door sensor reports open and closed properly.

Any suggestions on how to fix this issue with these two devices? I did not see any indication in the release notes that this would be an issue.

I’m having the same issue on all my door sensors. My zigbee water leak sensors show a battery level, but not the door sensors. Not resolved in 2011.1 either.

Some time ago I noticed similar problem for one of my devices (do not recall what is was). For some reason battery level was moved from separate entity/sensor to attribute of main entity. Perhaps something similar happenedd here?

I think the issue may have been introduced here Add entity category to ZHA battery by balloob · Pull Request #58553 · home-assistant/core · GitHub but I’m not sure about that. I’m not seeing new entities show up on the device.

On second look it is more likely to be this Add entity_category to SmartThings sensors by allenporter · Pull Request #58375 · home-assistant/core · GitHub

bug was reported in ZHA Battery Entities unavailable · Issue #59021 · home-assistant/core · GitHub and fixed in ZHA Add Battery sensor unconditionally by Adminiuga · Pull Request #59264 · home-assistant/core · GitHub looks like it will be in 2021.11.2

Does anyone know the status of this? I’m running 2022.2.3 but still experiencing the missing battery levels for my zha smartthings door sensors.

I am a newbie so apologize if asking a “dumb” question. I have searched the forum for several hours but could not locate directions on how/where to fix the code.
