Philips Hue integration errors for cyrillic characters in light names

Configuration
1

Hi all,

I installed Hass.io on Rpi3, running version 0.84.6.

HA found my hue bridge and installed it automatically. I can see the lights in the dashboard, they all work fine. But if I check the log, I get lots of similar errors:

Error doing job: Task exception was never retrieved
Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/homeassistant/helpers/entity.py", line 310, in async_update_ha_state self.entity_id, state, attr, self.force_update, self._context) File "/usr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/homeassistant/core.py", line 903, in async_set context) File "/usr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/homeassistant/core.py", line 668, in __init__ "Format should be <domain>.<object_id>").format(entity_id)) homeassistant.exceptions.InvalidEntityFormatError: Invalid entity id encountered: light.. Format should be <domain>.<object_id>

There is like 20+ identical error messages in the log. Any ideas on this?

I did some googling, and found the solution. It turned out this error comes up if you use non latin characters in your hue app for light / room names. I changed all names to english and the error is gone. Is there a way to add cyrillic character support in HA for Philips Hue?
