If you go to Developer Tools > Templates and input {{ states.group | list }}, do you see anything that might be it?

#

And also, did you check the helpers UI?

Helpers

Open your Home Assistant instance and show your helper entities

Oh, and can you search with VS code for group.set? That might also be the cause for it.

{{ states.group | list }} returns [] which is strange because I do have other groups

Awesome, it's really silly, but I often feel like I've missed the obvious when troubleshooting my own issues 😄

astral storm
#

I think I have gone through everything twice which leaves a 60% change I missed something obvious

#

It's a very weird issue. It's no problem checking everything again. I might even learn some new tricks.

#

So in addition to trying

{{ states.group | list }}

It's also worth trying

{{ states | selectattr('name', 'search', 'Growatt') | list }}

(This is in developer tools > templates )

#

The first may output a really long list.

astral storm
#

Under entities, when I filter on groups, the phantom entity is not shown. It's only shown under helpers

#

Going through So in addition to trying {{ states | selectattr('name', 'search', 'Growatt') | list }} now

Try to refresh the browser cache (on Windows it is usually Ctrl + F5 together)

What about an incognito/private window? Just to make doubly sure before we go scorched earth here.

astral storm
#

Same result (was just checking it) 🙂

Crap. I was really hoping that would be it.

slim meadow
#

Let's check the Growatt template just to make sure it doesn't output an empty list.

#

If it does, that should help us remove it

astral storm
#

Also nothing which indicates the entity is a group

slim meadow
#

Darn, I was hoping we'd see that group name.

#

Groups aren't always stored in the "group" domain, if they're binary sensors they're stored under that domain, etc.,

astral storm
#

I'm going over it again to be sure

#

I used the group helper to group the energy entity from the integration and an entity from mqtt, so it would be a sensor group.

verbal vapor
#

Ehm... I might have an idea

#

There has been an issue, if the parent entities have been removed from a min/max sensor for example, the helper entity became inaccessible via the UI

#

Do you remember, what entities have been part of that group and have you removed them?

astral storm
#

I renamed one of the entities. The mqtt entity is currently broken and not showing up

verbal vapor
#

"Fix" would be to rename something from the same domain temporarily to the entity_id which has been removed. When the helper is editable again, remove the helper and rename that entity back to its original id

astral storm
#

When i found the ghost group, it had no members. I added one to see if it would fix the group (but it didn;t

astral storm
verbal vapor
#

If you renamed or deleted a sensor.blala from that group for example, you could rename any sensor to that.

astral storm
#

Either it doesn't work, or I'm not able to remember the previous entity names.

#

I'm 80% certain that I tried the right entities though...

#

But I do think I have enough leads to submit a bug report (or find the bug you are refering to and attach my case there)

#

I think I need to give it a rest for today. Thanks @verbal vapor and @slim meadow for your support. You've been a great help ❤️

If we have any more ideas before going nuclear, we'll let you know.

Do you see anything in the logs

astral storm

Nothing in the logs.
I searched everything using vscode
