Cannot convert number to string

[dennis-home]

It took me a while to figure out, but in my Home Assistant one of my devices got the name 98.
In the core.device_registry yaml it was put stored as "name": 98 , without the quotes so as a number.
HA has no issue with it, but I could not change it and NetDeamon keeps on complaining while getting the list of devices.
I'm now a happy NetDaemon user, but it might be something to look at.

It failed on config/device_registry/list

Ahhh this sounds like a bug indeed. Thanks for reporting

@dennis-home do you have some more info about what you tried to do that fails because of this? Some logs / stacktrave maybe?

Hi Frank, Your name sounds Dutch, if so, we can continue in Dutch. I can recreate the problem for you this weekend and send you the logs, if still needed. It’s one of my devices that had a number as name and once you do the api call to get all the devices it is passed as a json number ( name: 96 ), not a string. Your parser is failing since it does not aspect a number.

Hi Dennis, tnx for the info, I suspected it was in the json. I actually think that is a HA bug for not putting quotes in the json os something that should be a string.,But maybe we can do a workaround to have ND handle it.

I'm dutch indeed. To keep the conversation open to everyone, lets keep this in English

Hi Frank, It was a Tahoma integration who caused the issue, but HA itself had no issue in recognizing the device. Unfortunately I could not change the device name. For now I removed the integration so I could play around with Netdaemon which I absolutely love and makes my live, as C# developer, a lot easier 😊 Gr, Dennis Van: Frank Bakker ***@***.***> Verzonden: zaterdag 8 januari 2022 07:43 Aan: net-daemon/netdaemon ***@***.***> CC: dennis-home ***@***.***>; Mention ***@***.***> Onderwerp: Re: [net-daemon/netdaemon] Cannot convert number to string (Issue #560) Hi Dennis, tnx for the info, I suspected it was in the json.
