So my Rheem EcoNet Products - Home Assistant Integration was working fine last night. This morning I noticed it was unavailable so I reloaded the integration. When it restarted I noticed that many of the entities for my Richmond (rebranded Rheem) Heat Pump Waterheater were gone and new identitcal entities with “Gen 5” at the end replaced them.
Has any one else seen this, or know why?
Old Entity
water_heater.heat_pump_water_heater
New Entity
water_heater.heat_pump_water_heater_gen_5
How I fixed it
- Delete all the “Unavailable” entities
- Restart the integration
- Rename the device to remove the “Gen 5” so it matched the previous name
- Restart the integration
Everything seemed correct again.
