Today I've rebooted my Proxmox server which hosts a HAOS VM and another Docker machine which runs Frigate, among others. After I did, I noticed that a lof of entities which I've been using for a long time were renamed (e.g. binary_sensor.parking_camera_person_occupancy -> binary_sensor.parking_person_occupancy. The new sensors (e.g. binary_sensor.parking_person_occupancy) have no history before the server reboot. The old sensors (e.g. binary_sensor.parking_camera_person_occupancy) have no history after the server reboot.
I am 99% sure my parking camera device was called Parking camera (custom device name since when I installed Frigate), whereas now it's called just Parking (in line with the Frigate naming, parking), which could explain the entity rename. I haven't updated the Docker image, the proxy addon or the Frigate integration in the process. I haven't manually updated my device name, obviously.
I'm running HA 2024.10.0b4.
Any idea what could have happened? Why did my devices get renamed?
#I think the Frigate camera devices have been renamed. Why?

this usually happens when the integration is removed and then reconfigured, not sure if something went wrong during a beta that caused this

Interesting. Thanks for the insight!
I know what happened, i don't think it has to do woth the beta.
My Coral sits in a PCiE adapter without a bracket and it sometimes makes poor contact. The server goes into a bootloop when that happens and i have to manually press it in.
This time around, it booted ok, but the Frigate container was complaining about not being able to use it somehow. At the time, the integration was struggling ro load.
So i opened up the case, did my usual wiggling of the board and then it started up ok, but maybe throughout the process, the integration was seen in a sort of error state by HA
Mind you, i wiggle it with the server off 😅

haha I was hoping
yeah, typically the integration only removes devices if it gets a clean config back from frigate without any so then it tries to remove cameras that have been deleted
seems weird, will keep an ear out to see if others experience the same
