Entites not showing in Home assistant

ESPHome
1

Hi All,

I’m hoping someone out there can have a look over my Yaml and spot where I have gone wrong. here is what is happening… as far as I can tell from the logs output from this little sensor everything is working perfectly the LED’s flash to show they are booting, searching for WIFI and Connected to WIFI and HA… BUT I can’t see the states on Home assistant, it’s not that they are unavailable or sowing the wrong data… no… they are just not there at all …

here is my log output

I can understand if one or two of my states don’t show, but for absolutely none… has me stumped… I should mention that the Yaml is a collection of help and me trying to figure things out, the uptime sensors and stuff will be getting removed to just what’s needed.

thank you all for your help,

Robin

What does the device page in HA show? Is it even adopted in HA?

it shows up in ESPhome as active and if I go to Devices–> esphome it shows as being 1 device with 9 entities but nothing is showing in Homa Assistant.

if I click on the entities here (haven’t done this before now) it says “This entity is disabled” if I click in to the setting here, it tells me “cannot change status, Disabled by Config entry.” where can that entry be? I don’t recol changing anything like this… any idea where to find it or track it down?

Nope. That’s my biggest gripe with HA, there are so many different places that things get configured and navigating them is a nightmare. I would start by deleting the device from HA and re-adding it.

Yup… not ideal but boot it out and re-load it… worked a charm!! Thankyou doing that didn’t even cross my mind… but it will the next time lol thanks again :slight_smile:
