Library generates non-unique IDs, blocks integration in Home Assistant

[guerda]

Since I updated the free at home firmware to version 3.2.2. I cannot control devices anymore and the communication fails with an error in home Assistant.

Here is one example for an error in the log

It seems to be a different reason. As soon as I reload the addon, some messages appear in the logs.

It seems that the newest home Assistant version is not allowing those IDs anymore

I am on homeassistant 2023.9.3 and SysAP 3.2.2 with no issues. So this should have something to do with version 2023.10. I do not dare to upgrade yet.

[guerda]

It's safe to upgrade fah as long as you have the newest addon installed.

I forgot to upgrade the addon via HACS. Since I installed the newest upgrade, I have no problem anymore

[m4rsi]

@guerda I have not installed HACS. So you think I am safe to upgrade homeassistant to 2023.10 ?

[guerda]

If you have a manual installation of the addon, I recommend updating it too. It should be safe to upgrade the addon (manual or via HACS) and also update HA.
