iOS app 2.0, unable to modify device tracker name

Just updated to the awesome new iOS app, but running into a problem getting device tracking to work.

My iOS device has name made of only emoji’s (:sparkling_heart::sparkles:), which doesn’t appear to import correctly. The name that it loads by default in integrations is simply: device_tracker.. (I’d post an image, but not allowed more than 1 image)

Further, if I attempt to update it to a new name, both to simplify my configuration.yaml, and to maybe make it work at all:

From the logs:

Error handling message: Entity ID device_tracker. is an invalid entity id for dictionary value @ data['entity_id']. Got 'device_tracker.'

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/src/homeassistant/homeassistant/components/websocket_api/connection.py", line 96, in async_handle
    handler(self.hass, self, schema(msg))
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/voluptuous/schema_builder.py", line 272, in __call__

    raise er.MultipleInvalid(errors)
voluptuous.error.MultipleInvalid: Entity ID device_tracker. is an invalid entity id for dictionary value @ data['entity_id']

Would love any guidance or ideas on how to debug this issue and make this work again. :pray:

That is an interesting issue, heh.

If you could, please open this issue on the GitHub repo as that is primarily where Robbie tracks bug reports: https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant-iOS/issues/

Whoa, hehe… real world issues are the best…

While this bug is cool I would like to say… just rename the phone to something using Aa-Zz1-0 and if you gotta live vicariously use .-_

You are a walking Unicode bomb with that thing trying to register with wifi hotspots :wink:
