Failing to create HAEntity on getting sensor history

[Nerkyator]

It appears that HAKit fails to create an HAEntity when processing data from the sensor history REST API. In some array elements returned by Home Assistant, the context key seems to be missing. As a result, the following initializer:

public init(data: HAData) throws {
    let entityId: String = try data.decode("entity_id")

    try self.init(
        entityId: entityId,
        domain: HAEntity.domain(from: entityId),
        state: data.decode("state"),
        lastChanged: data.decode("last_changed"),
        lastUpdated: data.decode("last_updated"),
        attributes: data.decode("attributes"),
        context: data.decode("context")
    )
}

throws an error when attempting to decode the context field.

HAKit version: 0.4.4
Home Assistant version: 2024.12.0

PS: HAKit never encountered this issue with Home Assistant 2024.4.x. I updated Home Assistant to the latest version a few days ago, and the bug appeared. This might be related to changes in how Home Assistant now generates the history array—but that’s just a guess.
