According to Watchman report, most of my missing or unknown entities are located in `.storage/lovelace". But looking at that file shows that the missing entities are really old and haven’t been present for months, or more.
So, what is .storage for and who or what manages it’s content?
This is the folder where HA stores all it’s data regarding devices and entities (and a whole bunch more).
The file is hidden normally, as humans shouldn’t really mess around with it…
Do not edit anything in the .storage folder unless you know exactly what it does, why you’re doing it and how to repair it if you break it. It’s basically the guts of HA.
.storage/lovelace, thats your “Overview” page, should be “updated” every time you edit the “Overview” page in GUI
are you sure you have removed these entities in all cards in that page ?, or maybe you have some autoentities card, or similar there
On the other hand, it’s not clear to me what you mean by “missing And unknown” , i assume you “verify” with settings/Devices/entities, and respective integration/Device and automations etc.
You are not using YAML mode for your dashboards, so the config is stored in .storage.
Find out which entity/card it is and correct it from the frontend.
There’s a search function in the dashboard raw edit mode that may help. Ctrl + F
Nailed it. Sort-of.
I found the entities in the Overview dashboard, which is hidden from view. I deleted them from the dashboard and now Watchman doesn’t have a problem with them.
But I have a bunch in lovelace.lovelace_hasp that is going to take more sleuthing.
