Cost and potential_savings without unique_id

[miguelpucela]

I have configured several energyscore sensors like these:

- platform: energyscore
  name: Eficiency 1
  price_entity: sensor.actual_price
  energy_entity: sensor.energy1
- platform: energyscore
  name: Eficiency 2
  price_entity: sensor.actual_price
  energy_entity: sensor.energy2
- platform: energyscore
  ...

The problem is that the integration only generates the new cost and potential_savings entities for the first sensor, but not for the rest.

I get an error in the log like this:

Logger: homeassistant.components.sensor
Source: helpers/entity_platform.py:540
Integration: Sensor ([documentation](https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/sensor), [issues](https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3A%22integration%3A+sensor%22))
First occurred: 12:23:50 (2 occurrences)

Platform energyscore does not generate unique IDs. ID None_cost already exists - ignoring sensor.eficiency1_cost
Platform energyscore does not generate unique IDs. ID None_potential_savings already exists - ignoring sensor.eficiency1_potential_savings

If I set the optional unique_id for each sensor, it does create cost and potential_savings entities and there's no error in the logs.

Thanks for reporting! I see the problem here and need to think how to solve it. Generally I would recommend to setup EnergyScore in UI instead of yaml!

[miguelpucela]

I've set up by UI and evedrything is working OK.

Thank you!

Same problem. So it's not possible to use with multiple devices at the moment?

[knudsvik]

I have not provided the fix yet. If you provide unique id's it will work. It also works when setting up in the UI (recommended). I'll try to have a fix for this later today.

My use case is this: I have six different devices and property's total energy consumption which I want to monitor.

So I need seven different EnergyScore sensors. Seems that adding unique_id for each sensor doesn't fix the problem.

UI should look like this. First graph (Kiinteistö) is configured on integration UI.

@jvuotila As long as you provide unique_id´s you should not have the same issue as @miguelpucela as far as I can understand. Do you see any errors in the log regarding unique_id´s too?

[jvuotila]

Sorry, my bad. Just added those unique_id's and seems that after waiting 1-2 hours it seems to be working.
