Been using haas for a while, but still have a lot to learn. For instance, yesterday I added a Shelly Plus1 switch, with an Add-On connected to a couple of temperature sensors. When I first set it up, there was no problem: I created a card from the entities I wanted to control or watch, and all seemed to work.
Five minutes later, the card had banners for both sensors declaring “Entity not available” followed by the name of the sensor entity. When I look at the Entities page in Settings, one of those senors no longer appears, and clicking on the one that does displays a banner saying “This entity is unavailable”.
The switch and its sensors have no problem at all in the Shelly app, or by opening its IP address. Switch and sensors all work fine. It’s at the latest firmware update. But the card still says the sensors are unavailable.
I’m at something of a loss, and any help will be appreciated.
Sigh. I did just as you directed. And when I restarted HA, the problem disappeared. HA found the switch and both of its sensors. When I restarted again, with debug logging turned off, they were still there.
As someone with forty-five years as a software developer, I can say this is entirely consistent with my experience . But now I have another tool in my tool chest. Thanks very much for your help.
