Switched to the add-on and now some sensors aren't accepted

[Jeff Willecke]

I recently wiped and re created my homeassistant and mysensors integration on my raspberry pi 3 before, I used the config integration. With the new build I used the Add-on integration and I am now getting the following error ```

I have a rain gauge, temperature and humidity entities that function properly but, my soil moisture, lux and prefix items are failing to be recognised. I assume it is a version issue. I have attempted to use the following in my config file to fix it

mysensors:
  gateways:
    - device: ...
      # other things ...
  version: "2.3"

I attempted to use /dev/ttyACM0 as a device but begin to get a persistence file error that I could not get solved.

any ideas?

not sure if this error helps at all.

@Jeff-Willecke said in Switched to the add-on and now some sensors aren't accepted:

With the new build I used the Add-on integration

By that you mean that you configured MySensors via the web interface?

Your assumption that it is a version issue seems correct, but you can't fix it by specifying a version in YAML when you configured the integration via the GUI.

Could it be that you forgot to adjust the MySensors version during setup? If so, delete it and create a new one. (I don't think you can make changes to existing MySensors integrations (yet))

child_id 8 already exists in children of node 0, cannot add child [...]

That's nothing to worry about. Those warning appear every time you boot up a node that has been presented to Home Assistant before already. It's helpful in situation where you accidentally assign a sensor / child ID twice to different data types or re-assign a previously existing node ID to a completely new node.

Thanks! That fixed everything.
