0.87.1 Update breaks sensors?

Can’t you just rename it?

Maybee I misunderstod but I changed all the names for the switch to port…

group:

  garage_door:
    name: Garageport
    view: no
    control: hidden
    icon: mdi:garage
    entities:
      - cover.sonoff_sv_garage
      - switch.port

switch:

##########################
###  Garage Switch     ###
##########################
  - platform: template
    switches:
      port:
        value_template: "{{ is_state('cover.sonoff_sv_garage', 'open') }}"
        turn_on:
          service: cover.close_cover
          data:
            entity_id: cover.sonoff_sv_garage
        turn_off:
          service: cover.open_cover
          data:
            entity_id: cover.sonoff_sv_garage
        icon_template: >-
          {% if is_state('cover.sonoff_sv_garage', 'open') %}
            mdi:garage-open
          {% else %}
            mdi:garage
          {% endif %}

I think its all related to the customize settings?

I have always had this to hidden

customize:
sensor.nina_ipad_battery_level:
hidden: true
sensor.nina_ipad_battery_state:
hidden: true

but now they are shown again even if they are supposed to be hidden

and the same for the garage port customize setting

cover.sonoff_sv_garage:
  device_class: garage
  homebridge_cover_type: garage_door
  friendly_name: Garageport

for some reason this dosent work anymore?

could this be a lovelace issue?

no - lovelace only changes how things are displayed

Hi David

Sorry but then it must mean that the customize settings is broken?

the sensor name is the same as always:

And the customize settings are correct

  customize:
    # Add an entry for each entity that you want to overwrite.
    sensor.nina_ipad_battery_level:
      hidden: true
    sensor.nina_ipad_battery_state:
      hidden: true

Same goes for the cover icon on the garage door?

Also I read some of your post and I am really confused isn’t lovelace the new standard?

what’s this storage mode? so far I have just kept it as is and kept upgrading it.
I can see in my string that I am now using the lovelace as default (No changes from me)
So this should be ok?

I now we are in a transition but it its very hard to find out how to fix things? :neutral_face:
especially when things worked perfectly and then they dont

Any help you can provide is greatly appreciated
Thanks

Lovelace will ignore hidden: true. In lovelace if you don’t want to see something, don’t add it to the card. If you have not ‘taken control’ of lovelace, it will use an autogenerated mode which will mimic old groups etc (but still will ignore hidden: true)

At some point, when you click on edit UI (3 dots top right) you take control and then you move from autogenerated to storage mode in lovelace and it will only show what you add to cards. Everything else will be hidden.

Hope that makes sense.

@DavidFW1960 So you’re telling me that I have to take control in order to Hide stuff, because the autogenerated mode is not working with the Hide rules in the customize group?

So taking the plunge is there a easy way to fix this in the editor

Basically remove or hide “Badges” I dont want top row
And changing the MDI to get back to the Icon that would change when openeing and closing the garagedoor?

I think this would give me a good start to fix the rest by hand.
Just got HAromey remote back online JUHU!

UPDATE:

Ended up just deleting the lines in the config I didnt want

But the MDI for the garageport is still eluding med?
