Entity id already exists: sensor.ajax_last_heartbeat - No dynamically added sensors about sia HOT 6 CLOSED

With the setup above, you would not see sensors until a message is sent from your alarm system to HA, I'll dubblecheck that behaviour to make sure.

from sia.

So it is trying to create a sensor that is already there. in this part

async def async_setup_platform(hass, config, async_add_entities, discovery_info=None):
"""Implementation of platform setup from HA."""
devices = [
device
for hub in hass.data[DOMAIN].values()
for device in hub._states.values()
if isinstance(device, SIASensor)
]
_LOGGER.debug("SIASensor: setup: devices: " + str(devices))
async_add_entities(devices)

Perhaps incorporate
def get(self, entity_id: str) -> Optional[State]:
"""Retrieve state of entity_id or None if not found.
Async friendly.
"""
return self._states.get(entity_id.lower())

Having the same issue. Any updates on that?

Hi @olylak and @Tuschz, I have the same myself but haven't had time to address it, hopefully I'll have some time this week to tackle this!

from sia.

I have the same problem, tried changing the name, however, that did not resolve the issue. Also downgraded to V0.2.2 did not solve it. Home assistant does give a response to sensor.ajax_last_heartbeat, however the alarm_control_panel does not show up.

@MrGMan133 I checked and for me adding the alarm control panel dynamically works, so with a setup without zones and sensors, after the first change of state (arming the alarm and then disarming it does show up, but I did notice that the behaviour around the sensor name was different, which I can't really figure out the reason for, for me the dynamically added one was different and I had to go into the states page in developer tools to see it. I don't have moisture and smoke sensors so can't test those.
