Which entity id is needed to call service?

[chrismcneil]

A recent update removed the water heater entity from home assistant so I no longer know which entity to call the service against to trigger recirculation.

I have tried reinstalling the integration but no luck in getting the entity back.

You should have an entity that begins with water_heater as the type. You don't have a water heater under controls when you click on the device of the integration?

I used to but it is no longer there. When setting up an automation the call service to "Rinnai Control-R Water Heater: Start Recirculation" under Entity I get "No matching entities found".

Under the device I only have sensors.

Where I used to have the hotwater heater on one of my dashboards I have

Very interesting. You said you have removed the integration and added it back in? I wonder if removing it and removing all references to the water heater might help. I have seen where references have caused entities to get stuck. I am not sure why it would of removed in the first place or why it isn't adding back.

1. Removed integration from Devices/Integrations
2. Removed integration from HACS
3. Removed any references on dashboards
4. Removed any references in automations
5. Restarted HA
6. Added integration in HACS and restarted
7. Configured integration

Very interesting. Did you have any log messages that appeared during setup?

What is your water heater model if I can ask?

Thanks @KoleBarnes. I think I might be able to get this fixed from this.

Go ahead and give the update a try and this should hopefully get everything back to normal.

It's back and I can now use it to call the service thanks!
