I have 5 Fibaro Dimmer 2 connected to my HA but for every dimmer I get two light entities where just one of them work.
I’ve hidden the ones that doesn’t do anything but I’m wondering why they show up?
The problem is that they show up in Google Assistant as well.
If I look at the info on the two entities the node id is the same but the real light has value instance set to 1 and the other one has it set to 2. The value id is different as well but that’s pretty much the only difference I can see.
How do I get rid of these and why are they present?
No unfortunately not. I had to figure out which one actually turned on the lights then I hid the other one from the UI like this in customize.yaml
light.null_entryway_ceiling:
hidden: true
I change the name on all the entities so I could manage them more easily.
Then not to get them synced to Google Home I configured not to expose them in configuration.yaml like this:
As you can see the last two lines I change the names for the light how Google Home sees it as I have a different naming system in HA and don’t want the same on GH.
I’m having some issues with my Z-Wave devices as they are not fully showing the right status on HA all the time. For example, if I turn on a light in HA the slider will just move back to the off position even though the light is turned on. If I click it again it will for the most part stick in the right position but sometimes it goes back to the off-position many times and it feels like HA doesn’t have contact with the Z-Wave network or something.
