Energy/Power sensors stop updating unless eWeLink app is open (Background update failure)

**Describe the bug** I have been using the SonoffLAN integration for a long time without issues. Since yesterday evening (approx. 6+ hours ago), I noticed that the energy consumption sensors (Power, Current, Voltage) stopped updating in Home Assistant and became static/frozen. **To Reproduce** The behavior is very specific regarding the eWeLink mobile app: 1. In Home Assistant, the sensors show old/static values. 2. If I open the eWeLink app on my smartphone (via LAN or 4G), the data immediately starts updating correctly in Home Assistant. 3. If I kill/close the eWeLink app on my phone, the data in Home Assistant freezes again. It seems like the integration is failing to receive background updates or the "push" events, and only receives data when the official app forces a status refresh on the cloud/device. **Expected behavior** Sensors should update automatically in the background without needing the eWeLink app to be active, as they did until yesterday. **Debug Output / Logs** I have checked the Home Assistant logs and the integration logs, but there are **no visible errors**. The logs appear clean, yet the data is not updating. **Additional context** Nothing changed in my network configuration recently. The issue started spontaneously.
