reloading groups causes light groups to go unavailable? Anyone seeing that too?
also, after the reload Groups, I see an unexpected notification for the group with my battery sensor alertsā¦ this might be caused by the fact the reload groups now also reloads notifications? Stlll, thereās no trigger for the notification which is based on a binary turning āonāā¦
- alias: Alert when batteries are below alert level
trigger:
platform: state
entity_id: binary_sensor.battery_alert
to: 'on'
action:
service: notify.system
data_template:
title: Battery alert
message: >
{{state_attr('binary_sensor.battery_alert','List')}}
seems I have to enter the One Condition to rule them All again:
- condition: template
value_template: >
{{trigger.to_state is not none and
trigger.from_state is not none and
trigger.to_state.state != trigger.from_state.state}}
which is really kinda silly to have to do, for the reload functionality?
edit
I did add the Condition, but the notifications still continue. Also, on reloading Template entities
Maybe I did: 0.115: B-Day release! Media browser, tags, automations & WTH - #477 by tom_l
Try selecting a light group in the frontend (add a card). If it brings the groups back, that would be similar to what I saw.
yes, that seems close, sorry I misread that for an issue with the Lifx integration.
I also see that, when toggling a containing light, the group reappears in the frontend. Except for a group, which contains a light that is not yet available,( because it has no power)
100% repeatable, so this must be a bugā¦
Confirmed. Reloading Groups causes light groups to disappear.
Thereās already an issue open:
another thing I now notice, is none of my Ping sensors seem to work correctly nor do the device_trackers made by my router change state. I use the asuswrt integration and nmap_tracker device_tracker.
I did see some odd new devices on the network (and still havent found the devices these Mac addressed belong to 
Aynyone else with Ping related issues?
update
this is really odd, but donāt think it has to do with HA. Seems after either updating the iPhone (iOS 14.0), or the router firmware, the Mac-address of several devices is reported differently from what they state on the device itself. Because of that, the ip reservations I made in the router, and to which I point the ping trackers in HA, dont report these as being there.
I do see the actual device going on/offline correctly and the name of the device is correct tooā¦ Would anyone have a pointer how this can happen: router sees different Mac address than device claims to haveā¦
update2
grrā¦https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/651151
network dependent Mac-addresses: private Mac-address.
now how to mitigate that: turning Private addresses off: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT211227
per device. And default is āonāā¦

iOS14 changes were talked about in the Security Now podcast that Iāve just finished listening to this morning.
Iām afraid I didnāt pay a lot of attention to that section because weāre an Android household, but I believe iOS14 introduces additional privacy related changes that affect local LAN behaviour (āLocal Network access permissionsā maybe? per this blog comment
iOS also has the ability to serve a non-device MAC to local networks (as does Android) but I believe that this was introduced before iOS14 but enhanced for 14 - Use private Wi-Fi addresses on iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Apple Watch - Apple Support.
Happy hunting.
EDIT I see we crossed streams with your update2

ha, yes, but thatās an informative link you posted, so thanks!
instead of turning-off the private Mac-address on the device, we could also try to catch this in HA. Having 4 networks in the premises, I would need to catch those for all of the pinged/tracked devices the wonder through it.
maybe we could ask issued a FR for a multiple ip addition to the ping device trackers seeing to the different ipās these private addresses get now

Hoping someone can point me in the right direction. I was using assistant_relay to send broadcasts to my Google Home using a REST notifier. My pre-115 code used data_template to construct a command with the message embedded.
- name: assistant_relay
platform: rest
resource: "http://[REDACTED]:3000/assistant"
method: POST
timeout: 30
data_template:
user: "[REDACTED]"
command: "Broadcast to family room speaker | {{message}}"
This stopped working post-115 with the following in the log

Changing the config to use data doesnāt throw the error but doesnāt look like the template is not getting parsed and the string āmessageā gets sent as-is.

Iām not sure if IOS works the same way that my Android (Samsung) phone does. For my phone I have 2 options per wifi network. The actual phoneās MAC address or a randomized MAC (the default). As implied, the randomized mac changes regularly so adding multiple ipās to the ping wonāt work for long.
ah yes, if the Mac addresses would be randomized regularly, that effort would be futile. Darn, I would have hoped to reserved the new ipaddresses so we could template the network in HAā¦ now using the iOS app sensors for the btw, but thatās another topicā¦
About the Calendar Card, is it possible to choose a view as a default?, at the moment it always go back to the month view
From the podcast I listened to I believe there may be the option to stick with the same (generated) MAC address on a per SSID basis which should make things worthwhile - youāll need to confirm that though.
I have created the Lovelace card with Spotify, Speaker selector and Volume control of each of them. The solution suits perfectly to my requirements.
Thank you very much to @sparkydave , @aidbish and @jtnn60 for your help. The combination of both of your suggestions made it possible.
I am amazed with Home Assistant!

Is it normal for HA to log errors generated while evaluating templates in the template editor under developer tools?
Testing Template
{{ states. | count }}
Error handling message: invalid template (TemplateSyntaxError: expected name or number) for dictionary value @ data['template']. Got '{{ states.| count }}'
What do you mean by crash? Like the android app will crash? Or you just get disconnected from the cloud?
It loses connection and none of the pages respond. On 4G LTE and itās only a 130mb file Iām trying to play. It comes back after a few minutes so maybe it is the LTE connection thatās slow. But still, it shouldnāt stop everything else from responding.
Do you see the same behavior in chrome for Android?
