• [X] I have enabled debug logging for my installation.

Describe the issue

In a prior version, I had aggregrates for the interior and exterior temperatures. That was quite handy combined with a template sensor to calculate the difference.

In the current version of Magic Areas, this is no longer working. Sadly I did not keep track of from which version I upgraded. The documentation about meta areas seems to suggest it should still work, and the configuration to specify the meta area of the regular areas is also still present.

The regular areas do have temperature aggregrates There are roughly 4 such temperature aggregrates to be aggregrated to interior (and yes, my regular areas are set to interior)

Note for the interior area, three aggregates were created. I've disabled these: Duration [s], Voltage [lux] and Voltage [V]

Reproduction steps

1. Have various temperature sensors in areas marked as being either interior (or exterior) areas
2. Configure the Interior (or Exterior) area to have aggregrates for temperature 2a. Note I have also tried this with a minimum of 1 sensor required for aggegrate creation
3. Hit save & exit
4. Restart home assistant
5. Debug log shows the Temperature sensor is present both in the Validationg aggregrate sensor for the Interior error as well as saving aggregrate sensor lines
6. Check the interior aggregrate entities, either through a direct entity search or through the entities related to the interior area in the Integration's page.

Debug logs

I'll try to attach it as a file, as GitHub is complaining it is too long.

Hi, I'm currently traveling abroad and skimming logs through my phone is a nightmare. I'll be back later this week and will go over your logs. Meanwhile can you add screenshots of the magic area device entry for interior exterior and one area of each type?

[JelleKoster]

Interior feature showing aggregrates is on

Interior aggregrates

Interior basic options excluding some temperature measures like the basement and the attic.

Living room basic page showing it's interior and that there are (at least) 3 temperature sensors which can be aggegrated

Living room no exclusions

Living room entities (clickthrough from MA main page - I'm still very happy with that page) I notice it doesn't automatically set the area for these generated areas... That's not necessarily within the scope of this ticket, but it could be a potential cause. I think it should (with a check to prevent recursion back into the aggregrates).

For Exterior I see I need to check why some sensor devices are no longer linked to exterior areas. I've done some changing on those in the meanwhile (migrated to different weather service for example) so I propose to focus on the Internal example.

Hi, thanks for providing more information. I've still haven't got the time to look into it but it's on my plate and will circle back to you as soon as I can.

Not to worry @jseidl Life happens, follow up when it's convenient to you
