Duplicate TRV Entity names after loss of signal #442

Closed kernowkoi closed 4 months ago

kernowkoi commented 4 months ago

Hello,

One of my TRV's dropped off the Wiser Zigbee hub network. Showing as loss of signal in the Wiser Heat App and unavailable in HA integration. When I re-joined it to the Wiser Zigbee hub no change was made to it's name or location but new entities for it were created with _2 on the end see screen grab from HA

This of course messes up my Dashboards and any automation I may have done.

What should I have done to keep the same entity names?

Can I delete the dead ones and rename the new ones?

Will this happen when I change batteries in TRV's RoomStats etc? Will be a real pain if it does!

If you remove and re-add a device to the hub, it gives it a new device I'd and therefore the integration sees it as a new device. You could have deleted the old device first from the integration and then re-added it to the hub. You can also still remove the old entities and rename the new ones to remove the _2.

Changing batteries does not do this as they reconnect to the hub with the same device id.

Hope that helps.

Hi Thanks,

Have Removed the broken entities and renamed the new ones all working fine.
