I am in the process of replacing my generic thermostats with the dual_smart_thermostat
at first all entities where double with _2,
so I removed the original once and started removing _2 from the new once.
while removing the first one HA became immediately unresponsive.
then after a reboot all was well, and then I renamed 2 other once.
now I got kicked out from my laptop and even TOTP wasn’t failed.
even after a reboot TOTP failed. luckely I could still login with my phone and disable TOTP. this last part worries me the most.
now I still have a bit of renaming to do, and HA becoming unresponse at this point is really wierd.
When you do that sort of thing, it’s a good idea to rename the original entities first - if it’s climate.mythermostat rename it to climate.mythermostat_old or something.
Then you can give the new entities the names the old ones originally had and everything should continue working as before.
thnx,
and I would have done that if I thought of this issue on forehand, still this would mean renaming entities.
But this of course still doesn’t explain my issues.
I found the time in HA is 5 minutes off, so that might explain the TOTP issue. but not the others.
I cannot find how to resync the time, maybe I have to wait.
I disabled my firewall rule routing all ntp requests to my server, I think maybe something is off with that one.
