Setup issues with multiple boxes

[PulsarFX]

When adding multiple wallboxes, the integration gets confused because the devices all have the same name.

This is shown in the integration entry list when "2 Geräte/devices" is shown. After a reboot, you get error messages that the integration can't be set up:

What I have to do, to get into a state, where reboots are fine and identifying entities in a save way is the following:

• add 1st box.
• rename it (whit advanced mode enabled in user profile settings) from the device list (pencil in the upper right corner)
• let HA rename the entities, too. This will include the new name in the entity names.
• add 2nd box.
• ...

This is cumbersome and error prone. If you mess it up in the first try, you will never be happy with this install again. I removed all boxes from HA, rebooted, removed all "problems" in developer settings > statistics. re-added the boxes like above, but after rebooting HA, the issue comes back.

Q: can the setup assistant use a custom name right away, so this rename procedure is not needed?

Q: is multicast part of the setup after a restart? Q: may be a eichrechtskonforme x-Wallbox a problem?

I have 2 charging networks with 5 boxes each. One is fine, the other one makes trouble on HA restart. :-(

Here is a screenshot of a restart, where the integration shoots itself into the foot:

Ok, maybe the issue is starting earlier. After the first box added, I get this in the logs:

This entry is repeated after renaming all entities via described way in 1st post.

Furthermore I find this warning in the logs:

edit: this is v2.4.0 with HA 2023.11.1

Hi @PulsarFX yeah currently it seems there is an isssue with the notification. My only charging station does not have a display thus i most probably missed this issue. I am a bit out of free time but hope to be able to improve the integration during xmas break.

I just discovered, that there are a ton of pre-releases available. I installed 3.0.3 and all issues are gone (including the notify)!! I take it ;-D

Yup, waiting for a binary release too.
