About unique id of Inverter

[sofkaski]

I noticed from the home assistant log the following message while updating to the latest version:

2024-10-14 11:28:57.265 ERROR (MainThread) [homeassistant.config_entries] Config entry 'Inverter' from integration solarman has an invalid unique_id 'nnnnnnnnnn', please create a bug report at ...

('nnnnnnnnnnn' being my inverter serial number).

I looked at /homeassistant/.storage/core.config_entries with the following jq spell:

jq '.data.entries[] | select(.unique_id == <my inverter serial>)' /homeassistant/.storage/core.config_entries

The result shows the unique id like: "unique_id": 1234567890 (instead of 1234567890 there is my serial number) .

So I quess that the issue is that unique id is a number instead of a string. @davidrapan: Has there been a change in the format/type of the unique id at some point in development? There are no migrations defined and that would hint it has not changed? I have defined my configuration quite a long time ago.

I did not create a bug report yet in the case this is not an issue with a newly created configuration.

If it's device_unique_id then yes. There was a change and was made in v24.09.06

The format is: solarman_1234567890 (1234567890 is serial number of the stick logger)

[sofkaski]

I patched the id in core.config_entries and core.device_registry to the new format and now the error message on restart is gone.
Thanks @davidrapan for the hint!

I suppose that in the future we should version the config entry and make migrations as described here in the change cases like this.

The thing is that device_unique_id was not utilized at all before that so I'm nor really sure it would help but anyway I found out about the config versioning and migrations after the changes so... yeah!
