Unnamed device for every inverter

[rpouetpouet]

Hello there

Thanks to your work, I'm able to better manage my production and consumption.
But I came to use more and more the mqtt protocol, and I noticed that for every device of my solar plant (1 DTU and 24 solar panels) one Unnamed device has been created, which contains nothing (no entities) but in "connected device" has 1 entry.

In total, my home assistant mqtt sees 52 devices related to the Hoymiles addon:
26 unnamed devices, each of them linked to the addon mqtt entry, the DTU, and each MI350 panel.

Is it just the way it is, so I need to live by that? Or is is a bug?
Any chance to create its own subentry to declutter a bit the mqtt page?

Hi, you are first person with such issue. Add-on is working for a while so I don't expect that it's a bug. You could remove those empty device and reset add-on a check again. Add-on should few devices. Installation, dtu and for each inverter/microinverter

[rpouetpouet]

The addon gives the data flawlessly since I installed it -thanks-, with just a few restart hiccups along the way.
It's just that moving my all zigbee devices to another integration led me to put my hand in the mqtt, hence my questioning.

Here's a screenshot of one of the empty devices.

I'll delete some of them tomorrow when the sun will be up to see how the inverters come back. Or not.
As soon that it's done, I'll update here.

Delected every device concerning hoymiles, restarted the addon, recreated all the correct devices, and the same amount of Unnamed devices. uninstalled the addon, deleted all, reinstalled, same amount of devices...

Ok, i will need debug logs to check it

[rpouetpouet]

Sure, here are the logs. Not quite sure they are debug logs though.
Deletions (and then reinstallation) occured at 1144.

For the debugs logs, do you want a specific course of action? Full reinstall of the addon?

[rpouetpouet]

I've got a debug log for you, 21MB, do I post it here, or might it contain private data?

[Cosik]

@rpouetpouet this is not debug log, you have to enable debug in addon and then collect it.

[rpouetpouet]

Sorry, didn't find a that time the way to enable debug.
Here you are

@rpouetpouet I don't see any strange behavior in logs. In plan there was to totally redesign addon but idea was stopped.

EDIT:
Another idea which I have is to sniff MQTT messages which are send by addon.

[rpouetpouet]

@Cosik Sorry I've been away for a while.
Would MQTT Explorer be ok?
I'll try to see that tomorrow then.

[Cosik]

@rpouetpouet yes, it should be ok, but please make full dump, messages are usually on many different topics
