Latest upgrade broke Panasonic Advance lighting

[mayberryjp]

Hi,
I haven't had time to debug and capture logs yet but the latest Echonet lite HA integration update seems to have broken the Panasonic Advance light interaction over Echonet

It was working without issue for a year, i upgraded, it stopped working. The system is still accessible and works from its normal controller local website

I will get some logs soon

Might be the same issue, or maybe not.. but I've just updated and HA has created all new entities for the sensors which has broken all existing dashboards / automations - might pay to check if it's stopped working as the entity ids have changed

[mayberryjp]

Yes, you're right. It's all new entities. I see them now. Thanks

new entities

Well I don't know if we should close the ticket, it shouldn't have created new entities as that's pretty disruptive / a breaking change.

@nao-pon without detailed inspection, it might have been this PR #164 was it expected to recreate all entities?

[mayberryjp]

FYI it only renamed entities for one device. the other 5 were unchanged

Panasonic Advanced Link System Entity ID
Regarding the change, with the previous implementation method, the entity ID could change due to the addition of a switch or reconfiguration, so we have switched to an implementation where the entity ID does not change permanently. However, it was not our intention that the entity ID would change only once at this switching timing, but it could not be avoided.

Please understand that those affected will be forced to reconfigure their entity IDs.
