Description

Version of the custom_component

3.9.1

I have a Car and a powerwall setup in HA via this integration. I noticed that my powerwall had stopped working and all the sensors just said unavailable. Looking further I now have "Powerwall" and "My Home" listed as powerwalls (I only have one). Now my automations and dashboards do not work as they are configured with Powerwall and not my home.

2 questions:

  • If I move my automations to the new powerwall is this going to happen again?
  • How do I delete the old powerwall?

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the Tesla integration code to understand how powerwall devices are registered and named, and why a duplicate 'My Home' may appear. Look for recent changes in integration version 3.9.1 that could cause this regression. Check logs for device registration and identify potential fixes to remove the old powerwall entity.
