V0.101.2 case sensitive

Configuration
1

Hello,

I upgraded to v0.101.2.
My previous defined scene doesn’t work anymore.

With following definition of my lights

light:
  - platform: mqtt
    name: "Lamp Peter Frans 01"
    state_topic: "hass/living/lamp_pf_01"
    command_topic: "hass/living/lamp_pf_01"
    payload_on: "1"
    payload_off: "0"
    retain: true

  - platform: mqtt
    name: "Lamp Peter Frans 02"
    state_topic: "hass/living/lamp_pf_02"
    command_topic: "hass/living/lamp_pf_02"
    payload_on: "1"
    payload_off: "0"
    retain: true

The following scenes DO NOT work:

scene:
  - name: Lamp Peter Frans s1
    entities:
      light.Lamp_Peter_Frans_01: off
      light.Lamp_Peter_Frans_02: off
  - name: Lamp Peter Frans s2
    entities:
      light.Lamp_Peter_Frans_01: off
      light.Lamp_Peter_Frans_02: on
  - name: Lamp Peter Frans s3
    entities:
      light.Lamp_Peter_Frans_01: on
      light.Lamp_Peter_Frans_02: off
  - name: Lamp Peter Frans s4
    entities:
      light.Lamp_Peter_Frans_01: on
      light.Lamp_Peter_Frans_02: on

But following scenes DO work:

scene:
  - name: Lamp Peter Frans s1
    entities:
      light.lamp_peter_frans_01: off
      light.lamp_peter_frans_02: off
  - name: Lamp Peter Frans s2
    entities:
      light.lamp_peter_frans_01: off
      light.lamp_peter_frans_02: on
  - name: Lamp Peter Frans s3
    entities:
      light.lamp_peter_frans_01: on
      light.lamp_peter_frans_02: off
  - name: Lamp Peter Frans s4
    entities:
      light.lamp_peter_frans_01: on
      light.lamp_peter_frans_02: on

See the subtile difference in cases.

For some reasion, I HAVE to refer to the lights with lowercases, altough their definition is with uppercases…

I think this was introduced in V0.101.2…

Not a big deal if you know, but it took me a while figuring out why my home assistant did’nt startup anymore. Weird error messages in log:

Is this a bug?

Kind regards,

What version did you upgrade from? Entities names have been required to be lower case for quite awhile now.

Hello @freshcoast,

Thanx for pointing me to documentation.
I upgraded from previous version, wich means

  • there was a “bug” in previous version in a way that you could use Uppercase there
  • I made some modifications in my scenes, and I just reloaded the scenes without rebooting home-assistant. Maybe in that case Uppercase is accepted…

I suppose it’s the second case…
However, the biggest bug is that I didn’t read the documentation first :slight_smile:

kind regards,
Bart
