Did I miss something, sensor unavailable

[Dutchy-79]

Hi,

I just noticed that my sensor no longer works. It says unknown for 2 days.

Automation: alias: Update gas station lpg trigger:

• platform: time_pattern minutes: 7 action:
• service: mqtt.publish data: topic: dgp/gas_station payload: "{\"station_id\":3580,\"fuel_type\":\"lpg\"}"

Can you show a screenshot of the sensor.gas_station_3580_lpg1 entity? I think you have multiple.

Bottom one says unknown, top probably old.

[Skons]

If your automation runs automatically, disable it, restart home assistant. remove the bottom one. Enable your automation and it should be working again.

[Dutchy-79]

Okay, disable automation Delete sensor Reboot HA Enable automation Run automation

No new sensor

The problem is that Home Assistant creates sensor.gas_station_3580_lpg_2 but dgp expects sensor.gas_station_3580_lpg. The only way to fix this properly is to make sure the _2 is deleted, you can only delete that sensor if HA does not have an MQTT entry of that sensor. You said you executed these steps:

disable automation
Delete sensor
Reboot HA
Enable automation
Run automation

But deleting can only happen when HA does not know of the sensor, so rebooting should be done before deleting, then the MQTT entry is gone. Deleting is not really possible, or you have figured it out. How did you delete the entity?

[Dutchy-79]

Ty, that helped me. I think I disabled the entity _2 now I renamed the _2 sensor.gas_station_3580 lpg then run the automation and I have a value again.
