Error: Platform tuya does not generate unique IDs

I’ve installed the HA Tuya integration and set it up. All of my devices are visible and I’m able to read their states and use them for automations. Everything appears to function as normal.

But I’m getting the following error message in my log files.

Platform tuya does not generate unique IDs. ID tuya...._humidity already exists - ignoring sensor.t_h_sensor_humidity

I get this message for each of my devices (Tuya wifi thermometers and humidity sensors), but I’m not sure how I managed to get duplicates of everything as I only imported them by using the integration and not manually.

Does anyone know of any likely reasons for them to be imported multiple times or how to clear the duplicates without having to deleted and re add edverything?

Has anyone been able to solve this problem, I’m having the same problem?
Thank you

To be honest I binned all of my tuya wifi devices and went to zigbee a couple of months after posting this. Tuya is good if you want to control everything from your phone but I found that it wasn’t worth the effort for home assistant when there were alternatives available that didn’t depend on a cloud provider.

I’m also finding that support for tuya problems on this forum is patchy. There’s some politics involved that I’ve decided to stay out of.

I’m not sure how many if the problems that I had rekat5to this message, or if it’s just one of those things that shows up in a log file but doesn’t really have any impact. My main concern was clearing out my log files so that I could better find the error messages that related to actual problems, which were getting lost in a sea of unimportant message.
