Entity Not Available - Lovelace

Was following a tutorial on “Add View”. Realized, without knowing how it happened, that my “Home View” and my “Test View” suddenly were the same.

Stopped and used “Restore Snapshot” - I just didn’t want to lose what I had already done. After logging back into HA all of my badges and cards are broken except, oddly, two. The “Updater” and “Sun” badge work. My “Sonos” card works.

But, for example, my Ecobee card shows:

Entity not available: sensor.main_floor_humidity
Entity not available: sensor.main_floor_temperature

There are others too. Very much appreciate any help or pointers to resources. As I suspect this is likely related to something very basic and I’m new to this all please don’t assume I know the basics!

In the tutorial I was following I had not done anything that referenced these entities (the working ones or the broken ones).

talk about burning down the forest because one tree is dead…

Have you verified your integrations are still there? Have you re-authenticated integrations? It sounds like your integrations just need to be fixed, or your configuration yaml has issues.

No, but by restoring a snapshot, you literally deleted everything and tried to restore a backup.

Thank you for the pointers “burning down the forest comments notwithstanding”. I had done literally almost nothing other than what was done mostly automatically with the integrations.

I thought restoring a backup would do exactly that - delete the very little else I had done and put it back the way it was - not the case.

:man_shrugging:

You blew away the entire install for a single lovelace view being messed up.

It wipes everything and restores from a backup. It doesn’t delete the differences between point A and point C. It deletes Point A, B, C and starts a new Point A.

So check your integrations page and make sure everything is connected.
