A number of Template Sensors that had been working flawlessly now report as UNKNOWN until I manually go to Server Controls and reload Template Entities.
Anyone else experiencing the same thing?

beware that the official shelly integration for shellyem is not pulling the solar export data (energy_returned/ total_returned). as a temporary stopgap you can create a rest sensor for this as below.
- platform: rest
name: shellyem_energy_returned
resource: http://192.168.1.75/emeter/0/returned_energy
value_template: '{{ value_json.total_returned | multiply(0.001) | round(2) }}'
unit_of_measurement: kWh
Thanks a lot, config worked fine afer wake up 
severel minutes later, the sensors are anavailable. should they not send the same information to HAas they send to the Shelly App. Or is the prolbem, that HA try to get the information and canāt wake up the device? if this ist the problem, these battery powered sensors are not usabel 
Which sensors for doors, smoke, water and gas could you recommend?
It looks like you have templates that reference each other or themselves with an expensive filter. It likely wasnāt an issue before because we could not discover all the referenced states in older versions so the loop never triggered.
It would be great if you could post a copy of your template entities configuration somewhere so we can help look for a loop. Iām also curious about the filter as Iāve not seen one that expensive yet.
We also have additional debug log coming in 0.115.1 to help find these type of loops:

So upon initial restart after update I saw all of the warnings about entity_id in templates, so I removed them thinking the constant logging of that message was causing a weird issue, so both of those profile.svgs are with entity_id: removed from all template sensorsā¦
Also Im not sure if you remember I had some of those weird templates in the thread discussing now(), sensor.time etcā¦ (I know you may not as you are a busy guy, so Iāll try to find it)ā¦ I will try to update again with the entity_id still thereā¦ (will it use the entity_id if it needs to with 0.115? or is it completely ignored?)
Also, im not sure what you mean by āan expensive filterāā¦ what am I looking for?
Thanks. I remember now that the scripts and automation action syntax are basically interchangeable.
The entity_id is completely ignored now so it shouldnāt make any difference besides silencing the warning.
For the filter, you are looking for templates with a pipe character ā|ā in them (sorry that is probably a lot of them).
ok tried to update history_stats from the latest git repo.
Now I get a new error:
Platform error sensor.history_stats - cannot import name 'DOMAIN' from 'custom_components.history_stats' (unknown location)
Has the custom component been upgraded to work with 0.115
Doesnāt appear so. Lets hope itās looked into soon.
So Iāll have to kind of go through my config as a lot of my template sensors are mixed in in separate includes etcā¦ but in a quick look for the | pipe these are some I found quicklyā¦
the first few are in the āfile_outā for tensorflow, but are referenced in automations again in same mannerā¦ others are just the first ones that stood out as āweirdā ones to meā¦
EDIT: upon looking I noticed that Lovelace Gen/Button Card Templates have tons of this type of thing in my Lovelace yaml, does this count also?:
unlock: {{ lock_unlock|default('tap') }}
Also, my config is a messā¦ when I get a minute I will try to upload on GitHub and give you access as I donāt wanna flood the thread with my garbageā¦

The only thing that stands out is that you have a bare states, as its going to enumerate all states.
You can replace
states | selectattr('entity_id', 'in', state_attr('group.family','entity_id'))
with
expand('group.family')
and it will only iterate the enitiy ids in the group.

Love the Media Browser Player, but is there a way to mount a different drive? Would love to be able to mount any local network drive/directory.

Ok, Iāll try that first and upgrade againā¦ also I gave you access to my private HA repo on git, feel free to look at more of my sensors if youād likeā¦ please excuse the mess, I am not very organizedā¦my 3 year journey with HA has had itās ups and downsā¦ as I am sure you will be able to tell from my codeā¦ itās also not secret-safe 
I removed Kodi from my yaml and tried the integration. It takes a while to get to the second step but then it reports unexpected error on the web socket step (I have remote control enabled). If I leave the port blank it eventually places the integration into the UI but no entities are created.
I gave up, deleted the integration, replaced the yaml and restarted. I get this error:

I have the media players on a different network than HA with specific routes in a router (not that that should matter). The setup was working fine in 0.114.
if you are doing the YAML import make sure kodi is turned on when you import it
if you are doing the YAML import make sure kodi is turned on when you import it
I guess Iām not sure if āturned onā is equivalent to running? I have dedicated āmedia centersā where Kodi is always running (and itās running when I restarted) ā I took that to mean āturned onā.
Hi there,
So, might be because my english is not that perfect and I cannot ask google a good question, but, since 114 release HA Chrome application no longer works as a standalone app - it opens a new chrome tab instead and this is annoying. Am I doing something wrong or is there a bug or new chrome limitation that breaks this functionality? Thanks
The release is awesome! I am having trouble setting up the smart meter texas integration. I put in my username and password and it returns failed to connect. Any ideas? The username and password work on the site.
Edit: I tried again this morning and it worked fine.
