Ping (ICMP) Binary Sensor Stopped Working

I’ve been using the subject sensor for some time now. Specifically, I took my example directly out of this documentation.

I recently noticed it had stopped working. I’m not sure if it was at the same time I updated to HA 0.100.3 or not. I’m running HA on a Raspberry Pi 3B+.

I’m getting “Entity not available: binary_sensor.internet_connection.”

In fact, I can’t find any reference to this entity in HA.

My Configuration.yaml file contains the following, which hasn’t changed since May:

# Internet Status: ping host 8.8.8.8 with 2 packets every 60 seconds.
binary_sensor:
  - platform: ping
    host: 8.8.8.8
    count: 2
    scan_interval: 60
    name: Internet_Connection

I’m wondering if anyone else has this issue, or even where to start looking to diagnose it.

I can ping the host 8.8.8.8 from other machines on my network, so it’s not that.

Thank you!
