The problem

Thanks for the usefully checks provided!
During startup I always have 2 ‘temporary’ repairs for two sensors from the Google Drive Backup add-on. That is by itself correct as that add on mystically adds these sensors with some delay without providing an integration owning those sensors.

Now the bug.:
Once the backup sensors appear, normally the repairs get automatically cleared, but not always!
Example today for the ‘sensor.backup_state’. 40 minutes after the sensor was added, the repair is still there:

For some reason that is not always noticed by Spook. Of course it is easily ignored, but that shouldn’t be needed

details repair:

Anything in the logs? Paste it here!

This add-on is bypassing all Home Assistant logic and writing directly into the state machine (which it shouldn't do). It should use an integration. Please report it with the add-on author.

This is not an issue that we can ever solve. This construct the add-on is using can cause more issues with Home Assistant.

I was only referring that the repair doesn't clear over time.
I know the sensors are not correctly added, and that these repairs will temporary pop-up during a restart. I will raise an issue for that in the add on

Correct, as this is not handled in the correct way by the add-on. It injects directly into the state machine, bypassing all logic in Home Assistant.
