Wyze sense entities name change

Hardware
1

I have the Wyze Sense component running in my HA. I changed the entity ID to make it easier to know which sensor I was including in automations. Well, the IDs I entered do not populate the list of devices when I make automations. Also, the sensors no longer output on or off messages when triggered in Node Red. The badges in my Lovelace dashboard still reflect an open or closed state but no other automations work.

I’m running this as well and it seems like all of your issues are:

  1. You changed the name of a Wyse Sense Device / Sensor
  2. You’re using NodeRed to build automations
  3. After changing the name, NodeRed itself no longer has the new names

I’ve been noticing this with NodeRed across a number of sensors. It seems to want to “sync” with HA and then cache the devices / sensors that were present. When you added the devices initially, they showed up in NodeRed, but then you changed them and NodeRed doesn’t “sync” the new name.

I’ve been able to resolve this by "Restart"ing the NodeRed AddOn under Supervisor > Dashboard > NodeRed. Once restarted, the new names appeared for me.
