Entity Management

Re-sync Entities

If your device's entities have changed (renamed device, firmware update, etc.), you may need to re-sync.

  1. Click Re-sync Entities

  2. Select the room/device to re-sync

  3. Wait for entity discovery to complete

  4. Verify the entity mappings are correct

When to Re-sync

Re-sync entities if you see:

  • "Entity not found" warnings

  • Missing sensor data on the dashboard

  • Incorrect entity associations

  • After renaming your device in Home Assistant

Firmware Updates

The Firmware Updates tab lets you check for updates, install the latest firmware, or reinstall/rollback from cached versions. Updates use the device's reported build configuration (no guessing) and show live progress during install and reboot.

Import / Export

Back up your configurations or transfer them to another system.

Exporting Configuration

  1. Click Export

  2. Choose what to export:

    • All rooms

    • Specific room

    • Zones only

    • Full configuration (rooms + zones + settings)

  3. Save the JSON file

Importing Configuration

  1. Click Import

  2. Select a previously exported JSON file

  3. Choose import options:

    • Replace existing configuration

    • Merge with existing

  • Zone settings

  • User preferences

This data persists across add-on updates. Uninstalling the add-on removes this data.
