Reboot of the Router creates new entites in HA

[dmamontov]

I do not see from the image that the name of the printer is changing. As soon as I get home, I'll try to add logging and download the beta version, let's see what you get

[dmamontov]

It’s very strange, I don’t repeat this. logically, a unique identifier is generated based on the name of the router and the name of the button.

What version of hass do you have? and what version of the component?

[FaserF]

Sorry for the less informations.

Home Assistant OS 5.13
core-2021.5.3
supervisor-2021.04.3
Latest hass-miwifi version: 1.1.1

And one thing to add:
I have two xiaomi router, one stays on most of the time if there is no electricity error. The other one is only being turned on one to two times a week.
Looks like the one thats only turned on sometimes creates the new entities. The other one that is being restarted sometime seems not to create new entities.

[dmamontov]

I will restart now, and check

[FaserF]

Maybe the difference is:

Router 1: Is turned on when HA was restarted
Router 2: is most likely turned off when HA was restarted and will be turned on some hours/days later -> Could this generate a new ID?

Thank you already for your Help!

Here is a screenshot to show the issue a bit better. The ones marked with green is my Xiaomi AX3600 router which is connected 24/7 and in router mode and works as intended and correctly.

The marked ones in red is my Xiaomi AX1800 router which is in Mesh AP mode and is connected only about twice a week for some hours and then gets cutted from the power.
As you can see it seems to create a new entity on every new start from the router.

What exactly is the primary ID for you addon to detect that the router should be the same one and not a "new one"? The MAC Adress?

Hi
I have the same case as @FaserF has

Router Redmi 6

Option "Forced booting of devices in repeater mode [PRO]" set
FYI Redmi 6 works as access point

Mac + IP, I got out of this situation by specifying a static ip in the main router on the poppy mesh

Refine your hass version

A debug does not swear?

[FaserF]

if it is for any help I can enable debugging, if you tell me what you need.
Right now it was disabled all the time

[areyoufserious]

@dmamontov hi
are there any updates? What help do you need?

[dmamontov]

A release v1.2.0 has been released that fixes this problem.

[areyoufserious]

Thanks for your efforts!

according to description I deleted all entities by myself, then I launched service

also I deleted all related files in .storage folder and reinstalled integration

Fix doesn’t work, issue still reproduces

[dmamontov]

Do you have static ip assigned to all devices?

[FaserF]

I can also confirm that it still sadly doesnt work. Issue stays the same.

I am using no static IP, but the IP has not changed.

[dmamontov]

This principle has never happened to me. But it is from your images above that I see that the name of the router has changed inside. Which is very strange.

[FaserF]

The name stays the same, only a new number gets added at the end (_2 _3 _4 and so on)
IP stays the same and MAC shouldn't change too.

But one thing to mention: My both Xiaomi Routers are running in mesh mode. The one thats making trouble is the mesh client (not the mesh master).

[dmamontov]

And on which entities?

[areyoufserious]

FYI: my routers don't connect over mesh

structure of entitiies

[FaserF]

And on which entities?

every entity for me

Try to put with the same actions

[FaserF]

Seems to work. Didn’t do a extended testing but so far it works and no new entities get created.
thank you already!
