## Introduction to Xiaomi Home Assistant
The Xiaomi Home Assistant is a smart home system that integrates various devices to provide a seamless and automated living experience. One of its key features is the ability to query device status in real-time. However, a recent issue has been reported where the system returns cached data even when devices are offline.
## The Problem: Cached Data
When the 'Query Device Status' card is used, it retrieves cached data instead of real-time information. This leads to incorrect status displays for devices that are currently offline. The expected behavior is for the system to query devices in real-time and update their status accordingly.
## Steps to Reproduce the Issue
1. Execute the 'Query Device Status' command.
2. Take the device offline.
3. Execute the 'Query Device Status' command again.
## Expected vs. Actual Outcome
The expected outcome is for the system to report an error or indicate that the device is offline when the 'Query Device Status' command is executed while the device is not connected. However, the actual outcome is that the system returns the previously cached status of the device.
## Reproduction Time and Environment
The issue was first observed on 2025-07-01 at 07:01 in the Asia/Shanghai timezone. The Home Assistant Core version at the time was 2024.11.0, running on Operation System version 13.0, with the Xiaomi Home Integration version being v0.1.0.

## Conclusion
The Xiaomi Home Assistant's device status query feature is crucial for its functionality. The current issue of returning cached data instead of real-time information can lead to confusion and incorrect automation decisions. It is essential to address this problem to ensure the system's reliability and user trust. Further investigation and updates to the Xiaomi Home Integration are necessary to resolve this issue and provide accurate, real-time device status queries.
