Hello,
I am not sure if this is the correct spot, but I need some help/advice.
I am running Victoriametrics to save some data from my energy meter.
Now I updated HomeAssistant core, and after a restart there is a new state attribute firendly_name=“description of entitie” which was added to all sensors of my energy meter.
this made a big mess in my Grafana visualisation because every query stopped working.
Now I am not a big genius regarding Linux, Databases and so on, and I was unable to find information about how to fix this.
I could remove the friendly_name, but I am worried about the basic functionality of my setup.
What happens if a reboot or a new feature of HomeAssistant in the future changes the state attribute?
It will fuck up the database? Every time if a new attribute is added, or if I change something?
This does not sound like a selling feature to me, or am I missing something somewhere?
How can I prevent this somehow from happening?
Can I tell VM to only use a specific set of attributes which are saved in the database
Would InfluxDB have the same issues?
The VM is a new setup I tried to experiment with…
I am glad for any help I can get…
