Hey community i need your help.
rasberry pi 4 / SSD boot / home assistant OS
I have home assistant for couple of years. All was fine and careless until a crash of SSD. I installed new one and restored HA from backup. To be honest the previous instance was not updated well so after restoring from backup lot of stuff was updated after long period. ESP home got this update with encryption key for example.
What I’m dealing with now is this weird behaviour.
After rebooting HA some entities of ESP home devices became unavailable. The devices themselves are online in ESP home addon page. I can upload new firmware see logs etc.
But not available in HA. I even tried add new entities in ESP home yaml and upload to the device. These new entities appear in HA correctly. But the original ones that are in esp home device’s yaml and in all my automations not.
I thought it could be something with IP addresses. I found topic about fixing IP addresses so i opened terminal and check
> core.config_entries
and I found this super strange naming thing. the “title” and “device_name” mention two different esphome devices under one entity section/id
I have no idea if this is correct - i assume not and i have no idea how this happens. It appear almost in every my esphome device. It looks like someone mixed titles and device names. And the IP addresses does not match actual IP addresses.
I also thought that it could be because some of those devices were used before under different name, but some of them that have this behaviour was not used before so it does not apply to all.
Can you please give me a hint on how to fix this, or what I have to delete or rewrite to get back to my old working tracks?
Strange is that entities become unavailable randomly and sometimes work and sometimes do not.
And ofc I don’t want to redo all the automations and dashboards etc.
Thank you so much.
THANK YOU for any idea.
