Migration

Migration

Coming from ruaan-deysel/ha-wattpilot or mk-maddin/wattpilot-HA:

1. Remove the old integration in HACS: open it there and choose ⋮ → Remove. Do not delete the config entry in Settings → Devices & Services; that entry carries your history over.
2. Install this integration (see Installation and Setup).
3. Restart Home Assistant.

On the next start the existing entry migrates itself. Coming from mk-maddin/wattpilot-HA, the entity registry is rewritten once as well: that integration keyed unique IDs on the charger's friendly name or IP address, this one keys them on the serial number, so the entries are renamed in place and keep their entity IDs, history and customizations. Where an entity with the new identifier already exists, the old one is left as it is and a repair notice lists it (see Troubleshooting and Diagnostics).

If the charger's address changed since the old integration last connected, use Reconfigure on the carried-over entry instead of adding the discovered charger: only the carried-over entry keeps the history.

Both use the same wattpilot domain, so do not run the old and the new one at the same time.

An entry migrated from a cloud configuration fails setup with a message asking you to reconfigure it with the charger's local address.
