Hey, I want to disable my Shelly switch for some months, because this device is only online for the pool season. If not disabling it, the integration gives me errors because the device is not reachable.
When disabling the device in the integration, all entities are unfortunately no more working in the UI. All the entities are deleted.
Is there a possibility to disable e device, but keep the entities eg with state “unavailable”? So the UI ist not showing the orange missing entity error anymore?
Rather than disable the device, can’t you disable the entities you don’t want active ?
Thanks, but I need to disable the device because the device itself is offline for some months. Otherwise the integration (shelly in my case) tries to reconnect to the device regularly and creates a lot of error messages.
Not sure if it will work in your case, but for similar case with christmas decorations I assigned entities to group and the I’m using this groups in UI instead of entities. Group, even if ‘empty’ due to entity unavailability, will always be available. Below is screenshot of my group that shows status off, despite ALL of the devices in group being currently unavailable.
That’s a bug. Integrations are not supposed to continually log error messages when the device is unreachable, they are supposed to log an error message once and then an info message on reconnect. I’d file a bug, someone may fix it.
