I have for some weeks now, had many template sensors set up for my gas (supplied from Octopus Energy) which have been (and still are) working perfectly.
However, yesterday this sensor seems to have appeared from nowhere (I told you that you wouldn’t believe me!).
I have no idea where it came from.
It doesn’t exist in my config:
And I have no integration that could have created it as there isn’t one for Octopus Energy.
I have had something similar happen and the only way I could get rid of it was to edit the (uneditable by directive) .storage files - usually in core.entity_registry.
Thanks. I had a feeling this would end up at some point in the .storage files.
That doesn’t fill me with confidence before I venture into that dark forbidden place
Seriously, and I think this might be worth a separate rant post for, It feels so fundamentally wrong to have arrived at a place where editing system files is the only way to put some things right.
This is all getting a bit too weird.
I included .storage in my VSC and searched for ‘night cost’ and ‘night_cost’. It returned nothing.
And stranger still the entity now has a value (albeit one of 0.0) so it is obviously ‘sensing’ something.
I am starting to think it must be something I have done in the past and forgotten about but I am stumped as to where to look to find this entity so that I can remove it?
