Not sure where most of them are coming from
Damn, I just spent the last hour renaming devices, entities and associated automations, including in my configuration.yaml trying to get rid of these warnings… wish I had seen this first!

@petro Thank you for the explanation. It is much appreciated and has just relieved a lot of aggravation.
It would have been nice if that explanation had been included in the Breaking Changes notification you highlighted. The original explanation and action request had me scratching my head as to what was expected of me.
It would have meant this whole thread could have been avoided. Now - on to other issues with a different integration and a manufacturer implementing arbitrary device changes!

As the maintainer of a project that relies heavily upon this function… well this sure looks like a breaking change which I find not in the breaking changes, but as my users all contact me about the error messages. Some head’s up on on this would have been helpful as you are impacting a lot more than just the Z2M project.
What happens if I don’t change the discovery packet? If the user ignores this message, in 6 months is it going to break anyway unless the format of those discovery packets being sent by HASPone change?
edit: wading into this, it appears that I need to develop new firmware and new blueprints which is challenging as there still is no mechanism for users to update blueprints. This is going to involve a pretty substantial impact on the HASPone userbase and it’s going to involve a lot of handholding due to the lack of a sane blueprint update solution.

Many advanced users regularly check the log and read the changelog, where previously these kind of messages resided. The notification area should be only for issues I have to act on right now.
I love home assistant and have been using it for years, but I’ve never seen this kind of messages before. I can see this message totally baffle most non-power users and I think it’s a step backward in the level of user friendliness we’ve come to expect from HA.

I agree with @GHC88UK and @Brainfrz, the warning was confusing and not clear, and led me to try renaming my entities, devices, etc in an attempt to try to fix it.
Many users including myself are using AMR2MQTT for parsing rtl-sdr dongle output for monitoring my meters, and a bit concerned that this breaking change will not be fixed as that project is no longer being actively maintained. There was an issue logged in the GH project recently but who knows if it will be addressed. If anyone has suggestions for alternatives I’m all ears… I am not a savvy programmer…

Why the message doesn’t link to this thread I don’t know.

And given that the devs have this list, they should have contacted at least all those devs surely? MQTT - Home Assistant

That’s what I thought. Why not contacting at least the bigger ones before bringing that change?
I am really concerned that some of the 3rd party devs don’t care about how HA wants it’s entities to be named and in Feb '24 everything breaks.
Futhermore I don’t want to be in the position of the 3rd party devs now getting spammed by numerous HA users demanding to fix this asap (I know that there is no need to fix anything asap right now).

What is the point of all this? Seems like a pointless update that just screws with advanced users that have custom discovery logic implemented, scares n00bs with difficult-to-understand warnings, yet achieves nothing (as the actual names and id of the entities is not supposed to change). It was working before. Don’t fix what aint broken.
Adding some more to this; why implement a overly complex way to name the entities? Why concat the device name and entity name, with a few ifs and buts and if not none. Why not just let whatever integration that creates the entities, just supply the name?

In my opinion, everything is much more complicated, it’s good when we received this warning and can remove the device name and eventually get the same entity id. But it is worse when we did not receive this warning, and then we get a new entity id in which the device name will first be forced.
For example:
Device Name: Some smart device
Entity name now: light.smart_device_light (Name: Smart Device Light)
Then we get: light.some_smart_device_smart_device_light
And there will be no warning, and everything will stop working. 
Sorry to trouble you but who would we contact for,
ESPresense (esp32) ESP32-D0WDQ5 through MQTT used for Blue tooth presence?
They all showed errors.
Already done

Nice, thanks.
But how about not having to do anything, and simply don’t change anything? If your device name is Some Smart Device and has light.smart_device_light as id; it would have that forever and nothing is wrong and nothing needs any change.
I agree that it is good with a warning if there is a change needed to be made. But it is not god to have a change that make stuff more complicated and does not really bring any benefits (that I see, at least) and just breaks existing behaviour.
To rephrase myself TL;DR:
- It is working good today. Entities does not have names or ids like
some_smart_device_smart_device_lighttoday. Nothing needs to be fixed. - In the future, when both consumer and producer side has implemented changes, then that also will work and you will not have names or ids like
some_smart_device_smart_device_light - So, why the need to change to a more complex solution with the same end result?
Simply put; why do a change to something that is not broken on the “consumer” side, forcing the “producer” side to also implement this change in order for things that was not broken also not to break in the future?

I totally agree with you Erik!
From a UX perspective, exposing this technical detail as a warning to the user without further explanation is not a smart move. A warning should always be a call to action. And as you can see some users did something unnecessary and now they are very disappointed.
I have to admit that I still don’t get it, which problem is actually supposed to be solved?

I fully support you, but the developers decided that if we can do something (and we are unlikely to be able to do this with a message in the forum), then I would support removing this behavior or at least adding mechanisms to influence this behavior.
As per my understanding, they are fixing the problem (just recently introduced!) of entities getting overly complex and long names automatically. However, the reason for that is, per my understanding, the new overly complex thing just introduced; i.e. to concat the device name and the entity name to become the name of the entity.
Before:
- Device name was the name of the device
- Entity name was the name of the entity
Future:
- Device name is the name of the device
- Entity name is the name of the device + name of the entity (!). <— this creates too long names, given that entity name is not changed. Thus the warning notifies you that the entity name has not (yet) been changed.
But if the change was not introduced, then you would not need to change the entity names to become shorter. End result (in terms of name and id) is the same, given that all entity providers implement shorter entity names. I don’t see the benefit of this.

Thanks @petro for creating this post. You are right this change wil have 3087293749238438932423 users panicing. As always you invest a lot in helping people understand what is happening. I also understand why it is needed to get the upstream libraries attention if you do this.
The rest of this post is not for Petro but for the developers who thought this is a wise thing to change, and to do it this way:
- Asking 3087293749238438932423 scared people to contact dozens of unsuspecting upstream developers is not very nice towards those (often also community) devs. They will be overloaded with questions. Z2M is not the only integration using MQTT discovery and I’m guessing there’s also tons of discovery messages retained permanently in MQTT that will never get changed by upstream devs.
- There better be a good reason to do it then. But “make it more consistent” does not feel that way. How many people were bothered by the old behavior? So probably now some HA devs feel better about the code. But at the expense of point 1 and a lot of work to fix stuff?
- Here’s a thought: it is changed now, and there’s a workaround in place that allows for both the old behavior and the consistent one. Loose the message or make it an inconspicuous one in the logs and keep the workaround indefinitely? Only prepend the device name if it isn’t already there does not feel like a terrible thing to do.
- Wanting the workaround to go away: see point 2. Yes, keeping the workaround will make HA code more complicated, but it spares a lot of people a lot of aggravation. Isn’t that what software is all about? Spare users time and work at the expense of more hard work for programmers? This feels the other way around.
