Troubleshooting

Entity not found on Cultivation Plan

After 0.3.2, Week In Stage is a sensor and Stage Started is a date. Dashboards that still list number.*_week_in_stage, or that guessed the wrong prefix (date.stage_started vs date.4x4_flower_stage_started), show Entity not found on every grow-space tab.

  1. Update to 0.3.3 or newer and restart Home Assistant.
  2. Wait ~15 seconds (storage dashboards are rewritten on reload).
  3. Confirm IDs on the grow-space device entity list.
  4. YAML-mode dashboards are not auto-edited — paste IDs by hand or scripts/generate_dashboard.py --apply.

See Upgrading.

AI health entities are missing

Created only when all three are true:

  1. A camera is mapped.
  2. Provider is Gemini, OpenAI, or Ollama — not None.
  3. The model is vision-capable.

Configure the entry, then reload TendrilGrow.

Model discovery failed

Network, key, or endpoint issue. Enter the model name manually. Confirm the account can use a vision model.

VPD looks wrong

VPD uses canopy air temp + humidity, not the water probe.

  • Map tent air to temperature / humidity.
  • Map the reservoir probe to water_temperature.

Tuya / LocalTuya sensors missing

  1. Probe exists in HA and is selected as Local water monitor.
  2. Do not run LocalTuya and Tuya Local on the same physical device.
  3. Cloud fallback: access ID/secret/region/device IDs; poll ≥ 600 s on Trial.
  4. Call tendrilgrow.rebuild_automap.
  5. Logger: custom_components.tendrilgrow.
  6. After leaving cloud sensors, regenerate the dashboard so cards are not still on sensor.*_tuya_*.

Entities unavailable after an update

Restart Home Assistant after HACS updates. New platforms (date, etc.) load only then.

Timelapse capture paused / Repair issue

Add the capture dir to allowlist_external_dirs and restart. Installation. Then capture one frame so the scheduler resumes.

Flush Due never clears

Flush Now (or tendrilgrow.mark_flush) records a completed dump/refill. TendrilGrow does not drain the reservoir for you.

AI says sterile but you run Hydroguard

Put Hydroguard in Additives. Do not list H₂O₂ / HOCl / UC Roots on the same space. Grow type should be rdwc or dwc if that is the system.

Collecting diagnostics

Settings → Devices & Services → TendrilGrow → entry → ⋮ → Download diagnostics. Keys and Tuya secrets are redacted.
