Odd sensor bahaviour.

[jonnybergdahl]

I have one plant that seems to use the wrong moisture sensor. I checked the core.config_entries and it shows the correct sensor (the _d one) being used.

        "title": "Rosmarin GCKN",
        "data": {
          "plant_info": {
            "name": "Rosmarin GCKN",
            "species": "rosmarinus officinalis",
            "temperature_sensor": "sensor.growcube_c13acc_temperature",
            "moisture_sensor": "sensor.growcube_c13acc_moisture_d",

However, the sensor.rosmarin_gckn_soil_moisture sensor shows these attributes, saying it uses the (faulty) _a one?

external_sensor: sensor.growcube_c13acc_moisture_a
unit_of_measurement: "%"
device_class: moisture
icon: mdi:water
friendly_name: Rosmarin GCKN soil moisture```

Not sure how to even troubleshoot this.

I have deleted this plant, restarted, and re-added 3 times, and the result was the same every time.

Try the replace_sensor service call (see the readme) and check if that helps.

Thanks, that did the job. Not sure how this could happen though, is HA secretly caching entities, even to the point of surviving a restart?

HA is extremely good at preserving stuff even through deleting an entity and creating a new with the same name/entity_id.
