HA not saving config entries every time I reboot

Configuration
1

I’ve been using HA for a year or two and just recently I’ve started to see errors where it appears some of my entities are not saving correctly and when I reboot/restart HA, I have to go into Devices & services and re-add/reconfigure a number of integrations. I’m able to go through that setup/configuration option without any issue, but when I reboot/restart HA, I have to go through the whole process again.

I notice the following error in the logs every time I try and save/edit/delete any settings but am not sure what this means or where to start to troubleshoot:

My OS version is 14.1
Core version is 2024.12.5

It’s almost as though the changes I make are saved in some sort of cache but aren’t able to be correctly written to the database.

When I check the configuration under Development Tools, I get no errors.

I’m happy to provide additional details - just not sure where to start. Appreciate any advice anyone may have on where to go from here

I have the exact same issue, I can’t add devices anymore, it’s temporary, every reboot resets and I have to re-add them. Settings (like the refresh token for the Tesla Custom integration) are also lost. Error in the logs is the same, Recursion limit reached related to storage.py and config_entries.py. Running 2024.12.5, no errors under Developer Tools.

I’ve been having the same issue also, it’s been happening to me since at least 2024.11

@mkeppler @fingmongoose so now it’s the three of us. Have you folks had any success troubleshooting this? This issue persists for me. I’ve resorted to editing homeassistant/.storage/core.config_entries manually once. But adding new devices is impossible, they don’t survive a restart or a reboot.

This is what the entry in the logs look like.

The problem srtarted around 2024.11 for me as well.
I don’t know where to go from here further honestly.

Same problem for me.
Also helpers are not saved, which is quite annoying.

I tried to set up a new system and restored my backup: problem still there. So it seems that some kind of config is the cause of the problem, but I changed nothing…

Did some research just now…

In my case it was the Meross Integration, which F%$§ed up everything.
Deleted it an did a restart. Now everything is fine again!

That worked for me. I deleted the Meross Cloud Integration and setup the Meross LAN integration and that seems to be working.

I will try that as well. I have the Meross integration, too. May be we found the culprit.

I had the same problem. it didn’t occur to me that Meross Cloud integration was the culprit. Uninstalling Meross Cloud integration and rebooting fixed the problem.
