Has ZHA lost the ability to create unique entities?

The problem

Recently I wanted to change something in my ZHA configuration that resulted in the integration not working correctly. So I deleted the integration, restarted HA, re-added the ZHA integration (via discovery), and restored the network from a backup. After this, all entities seem to have lost their unique identifiers:

What version of Home Assistant Core has the issue?

core-2024.9.3

What was the last working version of Home Assistant Core?

Unknown

What type of installation are you running?

Home Assistant Supervised

Integration causing the issue

ZHA

This is what I'm seeing now:

Hey there @dmulcahey, @adminiuga, @puddly, @thejulianjes, mind taking a look at this issue as it has been labeled with an integration (zha) you are listed as a code owner for? Thanks!

From an older core.entity_registry file from May 3 2024 I can see the binary_sensors used to be named like: binary_sensor.lumi_sensor_motion_aq2_339e9a02_ias_zone.

[puddly]

ZHA maintains a database of your past devices only from the perspective of Zigbee. Any device naming and entity customization you do is done entirely in Home Assistant. If you delete the integration and set it up again, all of that customization is gone.

I suggest you restore from a backup.

I also have a core.device_registry file from that date, I do see that the equal device all have the same name: "name":"LUMI lumi.sensor_motion.aq2" or "name":"LUMI lumi.sensor_motion". That means my picture in the first post is correct.

But the picture in the 3nd post shows the actual problem. From the registry data I can see the the specific entity identifier is (was?) the end of the ZHA MAC address in reverse order. Has that function been removed from the code?

[puddly]

We've changed the entity ID format a few times, I don't think it includes the device EUI64 anymore.
