SessionStateSensor eventually changes entity ID in Home Assistant #168

Open HeedfulCrayon opened 2 years ago

HeedfulCrayon commented 2 years ago

I have an automation that sets my lights in my office based on if I am logged into my work laptop or not. To do this, I am using a SessionStateSensor named 'work_laptop_session' image

This sensor eventually ends up not working any more as it duplicates a sensor in home assistant named 'sensor.work_laptop_session_2' image image image

There is a temporary work around that involves deleting the sensor in HASS Workstation GUI and then removing 'sensor.work_laptop_session' in home assistant, and then re-adding it in HASS Workstation GUI

Same issue, I also think it's MQTT related as my logs show:

If it is MQTT related, it is likely the autodiscovery in hass-workstation-service isn't quite right. I haven't experienced this in other integrations
