Entities not appearing/disappearing in Homeassistant dev tools - actions

Hello,
I have been suffering weird behavior in Node-Red automations: long time working automations are showing configuration errors. Upon inspection, number entities have disappeared from action node and even selection buttons are not available.

The critical one, our house power control automation, that dinamically combines power from the grid, solar and batteries to run main heat pump compressor respecting grid maximum allowed draw.

Now is unable to set the inverters max current. Entities are not there anymore and no selection buttons appear.

I thought it may be an issue with NodeRed integration but in dev tools Homeassisnt is also not showing any number type entity to call actions upon:

when of course I have several hundreds of them, including the ones I need:

Happened also with cover type entities some weeks ago but fixed with no action from my side. Now happens with number type entities.

I’ve been investigating this for several days in the forums, everything up to date and I’m not able to find the problem.
I would really appreciate it if a kind soul could share ideas. Wife tolerance factor at limit since this automation affects ability to heat the house :pensive:
Yours,

Ezequiel

I am seeing a similar issue with some other domain types:

The developer stated “…that data is sourced directly from Home Assistant.” and that they have “…seen cases where Home Assistant doesn’t always load the data correctly. A restart sometimes resolves the issue, but it may break again after another restart.”

They also linked to a diagnostic dump flow of the information Node-RED is loading from Home Assistant for the switch domain.

You may need to modify the debug node from switch to number.

Hello, thank you for your the response. I read that posts but I did not finda exactly what to do other than reboot and wait (and did not help in out case).

Also, Homeassistant does not show number entities in the call action interface in dev tools, as shown in picture 2, so I t leads me to think is not a node-red related issue.

Do your home assistant nodes need to be updated? Right side hamburger menu, choose manage palette, look for home assistant web socket nodes.
