Edit energy dashboard I get unknown error

[timpauladams]

The problem

I’m trying to edit the energy dashboard
It just says unknown error
If I remove the energy file then the error goes away And I can make modifications to the energy dashboard but I can’t save any changes as there is no file. I’ve tried creating a new blank file with the same name but then the unknown error comes back.

Same problem with HA Core 2024.7.0

[Toolhead]

Same her since updating to 2024.7

Same here since 2024.7. There's also no updates on power consumption or production on the energy dashboard but the counters for all relevent sensor are working when I check their history.

can you please check, if your energy dashboard stopped recording data around 04:00 am ?
If yes, please test the following:

restart HA - wait...
If the dashboard should record again, run the service
reorder.purge

and monitor, if the energy dashboard stopped recording again.

If so, you need to restart HA again...
In this case, this is a known issue... and will be fixed with 2024.8.0 as it requires some database migration jobs... (as far as I understand)

as a workaround, you can disable the auto_purge from the recorder in your config.yaml

recorder:
  auto_purge: false

Do you have iCloud3_v3 installed? if so its possible causing the problem!

gcobb321/icloud3_v3#308

doing this: gcobb321/icloud3_v3#308 (comment) fixed it for me.

Can you give me step beep how to check this pls?

Thx in advance

[ChristophCaina]

if you go to the developer tools, then service, you can call the service recorder.purge
after running this, the recorder might stop working, so you would not see new bars in your energy dashboard.

if this is the case, you need to set the above command in your configuration.yaml.

If you don't know how to do this, you can also create an automation that would restart your host after the auto_purge (which will be triggered around 4:00 / 4:15 am
