Something rather baffling has started to happen. Not sure when it started, but the first time I noticed something was wrong is an odd 4 weeks ago when I added the Somfy integration.
After adding it and configuring it, I saw this intergration could not find any devices. Well, then perhaps it requires a restart, right? Well, after the restart, the whole integration was gone. Just, poof!
I tried three more times (yes, I’m stubborn) and every time this was the case. Well, seeing the amount of issues with Somfy cloud I reckoned this was entirely on the side of the integration itself.
However, today I find out something more is wrong, as this same issue occurs when I add any other integration. None of them stick and their entities, devices etc are gone after a reboot.
Also, removing an integration is also not possible…after a restart they’re back.
I have the feeling that this may be caused by some permission issue…but I don’t know why and how.
My question is now:
A ) Can this be solved/troubleshooted?
B ) Can I get a away with just backing up the current config, and restoring that on a fresh install ?
BTW, running the latest version.
core-2021.7.3
supervisor-2021.06.8
Home Assistant OS 6.1
No, Hyper-V VM, as per the provided OVA (a while ago already, I think last year)
BTW, the rest does stick; database changes, automation changes etc. So it’s not a simple read-only disk issue. It seems some files are read only.
The file core.config_entries seems to be locked or something. Not changed in months.
Something that I noticed today:
2021-07-23 11:30:52 ERROR (SyncWorker_1) [homeassistant.util.json] Failed to serialize to JSON: /config/.storage/core.config_entries. Bad data at $.data.entries[23].data.scan_interval=0:10:01(<class 'datetime.timedelta'>
This last part seems to pinpoint at least the cause of the observed behaviour; changes to integrations and addition or removal of any is done by writing them to core.config_entries, but that is impossible because of some sort of an error somewhere in there. For the love of God, I cannot find out what’s wrong there.
Raspberry Pi 4 - 8GB with 64GB SD-card.
I have tried to reinstall 3 times from the raspberry pi imager software, but every time I get this errors after an hour or two…

I am also facing the same problems using HA on a Raspberry Pi 3B. Getting the same error codes in the log.
I tried to check if this also happens on a virtual machine. So I installed HA running on a Virtualbox VM and I get the exact same result. Exactly the same error codes:

I guess it has something to do with the RFXCOM Rfxtrx device. Since mine is from 2015-2016. Maybe a firmware update of the rfxtrx does the trick.
Yet another reinstallation of HA, and the error messages appear as soon as I add devices connected to RFXTRX.

@bengt seems that we are facing the same problem here.
I did not update the firmware of the transceiver yet. I believe I am running version 1006. What is your version?
It could also be dependant on the type of devices added. I mainly use kaku stuff and a bunch of alecto temperature sensors.
