What does this implement/fix?

Companion to the MSR-2 fix for ApolloAutomation/MSR-2#70. MSR-1 uses a BME280 (not a DPS310), and its pressure channel is not reduce-gated — but its other reduce-gated ambient sensors share the same "hardcoded delta, no time floor" pattern that can make a sensor look frozen when Reduce DB Reporting is on.

Changes (Reduce DB Reporting behaviour only — the toggle-off path is unchanged):

  • Added a 1-hour heartbeat floor to the reduce-gated ambient sensors (ESP Temperature, LTR390 Light, LTR390 UV) so each always refreshes at least hourly. Existing deltas are preserved.
  • Radar distance/energy filters are intentionally left as-is (they return NAN when no target and deliberately suppress high-rate motion noise).
  • BME280 pressure/temperature/humidity are unchanged (pressure already reports every 60s, no toggle gating).

esphome config validates.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved reduced sensor reporting for ESP temperature, LTR390 light, and LTR390 UV sensors.
    • Sensors now publish their first reading, NAN-state transitions, significant threshold changes, and hourly heartbeat updates.
    • Unchanged readings are filtered more reliably, while full reporting continues to preserve current values and update timestamps.

The reduce-gated ambient sensors (ESP temp, LTR390 light/UV) used a
hardcoded delta with no time floor, so with Reduce DB Reporting on they
could freeze and never show a value on boot.

Give them a delta-OR-hourly-heartbeat floor and publish the first
post-boot reading. Radar filters, BME280 pressure, and the toggle-off
path are unchanged.

Walkthrough

ESPHome sensor filters now track initial publication time and NAN/non-NAN transitions. Reduced reporting publishes temperature, LTR390 light, and LTR390 UV values on first use, threshold changes, NAN-state changes, or hourly heartbeats.

Temperature, LTR390 light, and LTR390 UV filters track initial publication, NAN-state transitions, threshold changes, and hourly heartbeats. Full reporting updates stored values and timestamps.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 68073

The PR adds hourly heartbeat reporting for reduced ambient sensors, but a first-sample timing edge case could cause one duplicate report when the device timer is zero. This is a bounded correctness risk that should have explicit owner awareness or follow-up before merge.

Poem

A rabbit checks each sensor’s song,
NAN and numbers hop along.
First reports spring into the air,
Hourly heartbeats mark them there.
Thresholds guide each careful hop.

Comment thread Integrations/ESPHome/Core.yaml Outdated
The isnan(last_reported_value) first-publish check had two failure modes
once a sensor read produced NAN: the failure was hidden until the hourly
heartbeat, and after the heartbeat published NAN every subsequent reading
bypassed the delta filter, reverting the sensor to full-rate reporting.

Use last_report_time == 0 as the first-publish check and publish
immediately when the reading transitions into or out of NAN, in all three
Reduce DB Reporting lambdas. Also merges beta (version now 26.8.19.1).
