Regarding topic "Time to Move On"

I'm having to start a new topic because every time I try to reply to my original one the post it deleted!!!

Scott, I'm surprised your tags report in so quickly in Home Assistant. I tried buffered tags when I first set them up and they would not send data for many hours, that's how buffering is supposed to work to save power. I gave up on it long ago and just have mine update every 30 minutes. Also, it might be a bug in the HA integrations, but since all these offline/online events, my HA has to be restarted to get it to receive data again from the tag manager. If the tag manager goes off and come back online, my HA reading are stuck at when it went offline until I restart HA. 99% of my devices in HA are local only, I think this is the only one that's still "cloud" based. I just don't trust cloud only devices anymore. I want total control and privacy, that why I'm doing HA.
