3 years ago I had the same problem, but I tried the procedure here - https://github.com/aderusha/HASwitchPlate/issues/107#issuecomment-629784869 and it seems to have worked for me.
re-flash the firmware through the admin web page, followed by a factory reset.

I am having a persistent issue with 0.40 that causes the configuration, expect for SSID and SSID password to be "forgotten" or not "sitck", and even the board name reverts to plate01 when I follow this procedure:
Recorded with ESP8266 flasher, DOUT, 1MB config
I boot the recently recorded device and I connect to the HASwitchPlate Wifi Network and fill in the SSID and SSID password, which is 50+ chars long, and change nothing else.
After the reboot, the device connects normally to the Wi-Fi network.
I open the web interface and start filling up the remaining information:
Remaning options set to default.
I hit " save settings"
A screen with the correct name I just input pops up with:
caretaker_plate
Saving updated configuration values and restarting device
But then, nothing is really saved. The next time I open the screen, only the Wifi information is preserved, everything else reverts to default and I get this information from the from part of the screen:
MQTT Status: Disconnected, return code: 0 MQTT ClientID: HASP Version: 0.40 LCD Model: LCD Version: 0 LCD Active Page: 0 CPU Frequency: 160MHz Sketch Size: 477536 bytes Free Sketch Space: 2666496 bytes Heap Free: 20176 Heap Fragmentation: 1 ESP core version: 2_6_3 IP Address: 192.168.1.76 Signal Strength: -69 Uptime: 15 Last reset: Fatal exception:0 flag:4 (SOFT_RESTART) epc1:0x00000000 epc2:0x00000000 epc3:0x00000000 excvaddr:0x00000000 depc:0x00000000
If I fill in all the information while connected to the HASwitchPlate (at first boot), all seems to work fine, and de device connectes to Wifi and MQTT without any apparent issues.
