[both entities state the same value / e2 is a template sensor copy of e1]
I switched from the usual espresense integration via mqtt_room to the new companion add-on which had me change the sensor for my phone from a sensor.* (manually configured in sensors.yaml) to a device_tracker.* that is automatically created by the new add-on.
This change made the colors in my history graph card disappear which is bad news since that is my main way to check if presence detection is working correctly.
I was curious so I made a template sensor which simply copies the value of the device_tracker.* and creates a new sensor.* and it worked, I got my colors back! This is not a real solution though because I dont want to have to keep making new template sensory every time I add a new device for tracking.
I did a lot of searching already and most topics are about themes but changing themes does not affect the colors of the history graph.
oh and btw. this is the config for my old tracker which worked but was made obsolete with the new add-on:
- platform: mqtt_room
device_id: "MeiHandy"
name: 'MeiHandy'
state_topic: 'espresense/devices/MeiHandy'
timeout: 60
away_timeout: 120
Since I already spent several hours on this I would really appreciate your help!
