Devices showing orange "Replaced by" error in automations

[freetrader]

I started receiving these orange error messages in automations recently and have never seen them before. So far they have occurred with devices from multiple unrelated integrations - Tasmota, Roku and one other I didn’t make a note of. The odd thing is the “replaced by” name is always identical to the original device name.

I imagine this has been cause by some configuration change on my part but haven’t found anything, nor can I find anything in the logs.

Has anyone seen anything like this on your installations?

Yes, luckily you only have a single entity to re-link the device/entity name in your automation, I’ve had any where from 2 to 5 entities choices. It is because of 2 things: 1. Adding of the Area/Zone/Location being added to the entity name. 2. Device/Entity being shared by one than one integration.
So just go through all of your automations and fix/repair by choosing what was the normal name to use.

Thanks much for the explanation. Now to go through 250 automations…
