Problem with non-english sensor entities name

VladNord commented 2 years ago

The problem

Hello! If I use non-english two-word entity sensor names at esphome, where first word is matches the name of the space the device is in, I get an interesting effect of conglutination sensor data into one object, Here is example, dht11 sensor

sensor:
  - platform: dht
    model: DHT11
    pin: GPIO3
    temperature:
      name: "Балкон Температура"
    humidity:
      name: "Балкон Влажность"
    update_interval: 60s

In home assistant i get the following

Temperature and humidity on one graph :)

and get the following error in the log

Platform esphome does not generate unique IDs.

if I change the space, rename item into two-word English or one word non-english its working like a charm

Same situation with Sonoff pow r2 sensor.

Thanks for help!

Hey there @ottowinter, mind taking a look at this issue as it has been labeled with an integration (api) you are listed as a code owner for? Thanks! _{^{(message by CodeOwnersMention)}}

This happens because the object_id is calculated based on the name, and it only allows a subset of ASCII characters. I expect it's unlikely that ESPHome will gain Unicode support anytime soon, if only because of space and memory constraints.
