This is the second time this has happened and I don’t know what’s going on.
I updated HAOS and upon restart one of my automations throws an error. Somehow “dining_room_light” is now “dining_room_light_2”. (WHY??)
So I edit the automation changing dining_room_light to dining_room_light_2, save it and restart HA.
The automation is still throwing the same error: dining_room_light is an invalid entity.
??
I open the automations.yaml file and search for “dining_room_light”. And I find TWO copies of the automation there. One correctly identifies the entity as “dining_room_light_2” and the other still has the old entity name: “dining_room_light”
??
Can anyone help me understand what is happening here?
Why did my “dining_room_light” become “dining_room_light_2”?
Why are there two copies of the automation?
It’s as if editing the automation to update the entity name created a new copy of the automation, leaving the original in place.
Note, this automation has been working fine for months until today.
