Hi, hoping someone can help with yaml formatting (assuming that’s the problem).
I have three sensors for which I receive warning messages in 2023.4.x but those changed to fatal error messages in 2023.5 and stopped working (sensors became unavailable). I think it’s likely a yaml error on my part, but maybe it’s related to the add-on itself (Inifinitude).
I’ve spent hours trying to track down this message and haven’t been successful. Unlike the other sensors for this add-on, these three sensors return a string value, current_activity, fan_status (auto, low, med, high) and humidifier_status (off, on). The warning messages I’m receiving are these:
2023-05-08 23:16:13.709 WARNING (MainThread) [homeassistant.components.sensor] Sensor sensor.hvac_fan_mode has device class None, state class None and unit thus indicating it has a numeric value; however, it has the non-numeric value: low (<class 'str'>); Please update your configuration if your entity is manually configured, otherwise create a bug report at https://github.com/home-assistant/core/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+label%3A%22integration%3A+template%22

The snippet of yaml code is this (note, all other sensors in this section work fine):

I’m relatively new to HA, but I’ve gone through the documentation on what I think is the relevant section and still come up blank. I posted this question on the github linked above but it’s low-traffic and no one has replied.
Due to some other problems with 2023.5.x I’ve restored to 2023.4.x. If I can get these warning messages solved, I think the fatal errors in 2023.5.x will also be solved. The fatal message(s) is this (all are similar so here is one). Perhaps it’s a problem with the add-on…?

Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks!
