After restarting HomeAssistant all GivTCP entities names got renamed to *_2 #100

After restarting HomeAssistant I noticed all existing givtcp_* entities became unavailable and plots of these entities only show data before the restart.

There are new entities available, with "_2" added at the end. Switching to these entities works just fine, but all of the graph history is now lost.

Where is this entity renaming coming from and is it possible to undo it? Ideally, I would like history of these entities merged but I am OK losing a couple of days worth of recent data.

Only GivTCP entities are affected. All other entities (including other MQTT ones) have retained their names.

I noticed the descriptive names of the entities have changed as well. Perhaps that has caused the duplication?

Before: GivTCP [ID] PV Power = sensor.givtcp_[ID]_pv_power

Now: GivTCP PV Power = sensor.givtcp_[ID]_pv_power_2

Looks like a duplicate of issue #31 but I was already using HADEVICEPREFIX=GivTCP in the config and deleting MQTT entries in MQTT Explorer had no effect.

It is a duplicate of issue #31 but the recommended solution did not work.

Fixed it by pinning GivTCP version to 2.1.11:

services:
  GivTCP:
    image: britkat/giv_tcp-ma:2.1.11

I am glad I have only lost half a day of data history. No more GivTCP updates for me.
