Fix entity names to avoid duplicate "tempest" #72

Closed pcfens closed 1 year ago

pcfens commented 1 year ago

After upgrading to 2023.8.0 I was met with this message:

Some MQTT entities have an entity name that starts with the device name. This is not expected. To avoid a duplicate name the device name prefix is stripped of the entity name as a work-a-round. Please inform the maintainer of the software application that supplies the affected entities to fix this issue.

List of affected entities:

It also included the note that "This stops working in version 2024.2.0. Please address before upgrading.", so we have some time to fix this, but it still needs addressing.

@pcfens Everyone got this, it's not related to WeatherFlow, it's an issue with HA that the forums say will be addressed in September and can safely be ignored. Apparently they did some changes in MQTT regarding the names but have not written the mitigation needed to avoid this message.

That sounds way better than having to patch everything. Thanks for the quick reply.

You were only lucky, I was here to report an issue with the hourly weather being broken for 8.0 :).
