Missing Entities

[squizzer73]

Hi,
Not sure if this is a bug or lack of knowledge but some of the areas I have set up seem to be missing entities but not all of them, for instance all of the areas that are in the house are working correctly but the areas I have set up for outside don't show any of the lights i have set up or any sensors. the fact that they are outside makes me think that it is connected but i can't think why, i have tried setting the magic areas up as interior and exterior and it made no difference.
Anyone had anything simmilar or think they can point me in the right direction.

Cheers
Mark.

Hey Mark,

Can you post screenshots of you configuration and the states of the entities? Go to the developer area, states tab and type "magic_areas" and send me the screenshot please (also the configurations)

Hi,
Thanks for the reply, sorry the screenshot is quite long, have a fair few devices/areas set up. The example one here is an area called Back, this is the back garden, it has cameras and pir sensors as well as a light entity that do not seem to be getting picked up.
Cheers
Mark.

Wierdly enough, if i put the three areas having trouble into a "floor" in home assistant, it still can't see lights but can see some motion detectors but ones from other areas not just their own, ie. back garden is detecting movement from front garden. I have removed these areas from floors completely and they now work properly, this is strange as all the interior areas are set to floors and work fine.
Cheers

Hey @squizzer73 sorry for the delay getting back to you, I was out travelling with family. I'm going to take a look once I'm back from work.

Hey @squizzer73 I've read through all your information and it puzzles me why this is happening just for these areas. I'd recommend removing the Magic Area entries for those areas, restarting HA and creating the Magic Area for these areas again, just to be sure we're starting debugging on a clean slate.

As far as I remember there isn't any logic with regards to loading entities that depends on whether the room is on a floor or not, much less this cross-area thing going on.

Another option is to enable debug logging but it is VERY noisy. Then we can search by the area name and see if there's anything funny happening. Before doing that, see if there aren't any errors and warnings from Magic Areas, if not then we can enable debug logging.

Just circling back on this, any updates?
