After a manual reloading the integration - info is valid again.
But the issue is that data should not become invalid.

If anything prevents the integration to work properly (internet issues, timeouts etc) - there are should be corr. messages in Log.

And binary_sensors for "status" are unknown - WTH?
This sensors for status LOOKS normal:

In fact some of them are unknown:

And this is not just a "displayed state" - it seems to be a real state:

The source value could be online or unknown - then WTH a binary_sensor is used?
Why not a sensor?
If you have chosen a binary_sensor - then make it on / off, not on / unknown.

Hint: the unknown state in considered by users as "there is smth wrong with my sensor".
In this particular case the unknown value for a source status is absolutely normal value - it merely means "no updates from a device within some period".

Moreover - a device_tracker state becomes outdated as well, even when a status sensor is ON.
Before 2024.5 it was working fine.
