I think it depends on a Breaking Change in 0.62.0
Custom component devs only: EntityComponent.add_entity(entity) and EntityComponent.async_add_entity(entity) have been removed. Use EntityComponent.add_entities([entity]) and EntityComponent.async_add_entities([entity]) instead. (@balloob - #11691) (breaking change)
I’ve finally got round to playing with your great custom component
I’m on Win 10 - HA 62.0, latest github repo and I get the following error for my motion detector variable…

I did something like this a while ago, I call it input_label - it is basically a placeholder, you can put anything you want in it and use it as a variable.

… need help
I’m working with a state machine but it dosn’t run… The goal is to increment light_color ad every click from 0 to 8 and rollover so I can use a different color ad every touch
Hass.io v.0.63.3 on RPI3
this is part of my configuration.yaml
This is great! If i want to store sensor values, do i have to create an automation for every sensor i want stored? And I noticed that the icon does not restore to the last icon. it goes back to the icon from the original variable file.
I have weather forecast tts on chromecast in the morning. And also i sometimes stream web radio over that same chromecast. So i use this component to save current web radio state (off or some station) before weather forecast kicks in. After forecast ends if web radio was streaming before i restore to saved radio station.
- service: tts.google_say

entity_id: media_player.chromecastaudio0667

I previously had your component working great, but then I borked my system and had to reinstall a backup, now I am getting the following:

Any idea as to what dependencies I am missing that would be causing this error?
For the first time since using variables, the values aren’t restoring for me after a reboot today.
The only change I made was to add a fourth variable to my configuration.yaml, which was this one:
times_motion_cam2_zone4_triggered:
value: 0
attributes:
friendly_name: 'Times Camera Two Zone 4 Triggered'
icon: mdi:cctv
restore: true
The variables work as perfectly as ever. I’ve done several reboots over the last few days with no issue, but today the values aren’t surviving a reboot or a restart.
Here’s my grafana stats for two of them showing no problems after many issue-free restarts & reboots. I reset the values at midnight.
I try to use variables, without sucess. i’m using hassbian. And what I want is:
-Write a value from another component, (sensor, counter, etc…) in a variable.
-Create an automation to do the write with a trigger. Without scripts.
-Restart homeautomation or the raspberry pi without loosing the values.
Until now I could only do that with input_number, and in slider type, in box type the value ins’t stored.
The idea is:
-The automation is trigger by a MQTT topic change.
-The condition is that the current time is bigger, by 2 seconds, that the oldTime (a variable).
-the action is:
-Increment total_gas (a variable) by 0.01
-Set oldTime with current time.
I have already this automation working with input_number, but I would like to chang’t to variable.
Could someone help.
