Home Assistant ESPHome missing one entities

ESPHome
1

I have an issue that I have been unable to track down so far. I have a ESPhome device that I’m using for monitoring my dog house. I have a few sensors and relays to control including two Dallas temperature sensors. Everything seems to work fine if I look at the ESPHOME logs except that the second Dallas sensor does not show up as an entity in home assistant. Everything else is just fine.

My Code

i2c:
  sda: 21
  scl: 22
  scan: true
  id: bus_a
  
dallas:
  - pin: 19

# Individual sensors
sensor:
  - platform: dallas
    address: 0x3c67e1379ec7ff28
    name: "Doghouse Outside Temperature"
  - platform: dallas
    address: 0x5950a137fc8dff28
    name: "Doghouse Inside Temperature"
  - platform: bmp085
    temperature:
      name: "Doghouse CTRL Temperature"
    pressure:
      name: "Doghouse CTRL Pressure"
    update_interval: 60s

And your esphome log?

Did you try to remove and re-add this esphome? Or, do you, by any chance have two devices registered on the same esphome name or IP? It can happen when you test and tinker with device…

Tried to remove and add it back in with exactly the same result. Pretty sure there is no IP conflict

when you look at the device in HA, what do you see as entities?

I only see 6 of the 7 entities. I’ve tried refreshing, rebooting even remove the instant and reinstalling but nothing seems to work. The ESP Board seems to be reading it just fine but for some reason home assistant does not see it.

Which one is missing?

Edit: sorry, you said the second dallas one, I assume the inside temp one.

You haven’t hidden one by mistake?

Try to set up another sensor based upon a template of the raw value of the missing entity. That should show under integrations.

Well it seems like I fixed it but not sure why. I tried a new sensor and this worked just fine. I now have both inside and outside temperatures working. I just find it odd that the sensor appeared to be read fine in the logs.

Thanks for all the comments and ideas
