Ive been messing with HA for about 3 weeks now. Im getting used to how to add things, what to change, creating cards, UI, themes, starting to poke at node-red. However, I dont totally understand lower level troubleshooting and debugging. For example, when one of my devices gets “messed up”, how do I fix that vs. removing it and re-adding?
Current example. I updated HA last night and my ecobee stopped working. I can very well just remove it, and re-add it, going through the process again, but I dont want to do that because I want to learn.
That being said, how I would I begin to troubleshoot that connection? The logs dont seem to tell a whole lot. What is the underlying process for removing and re-adding and how can I do this manually?
HA is awesome, bu the learning curve is steep and the documentation is generally out-dated and incorrect. I want to better learn the lower levels of HA in order to be able to resolve issues more reliably and help others.
Thanks.
