my apologies, thanks
well that was easy

check the names of your commands/sensors

yes
means it didnt work properly then
they did before as well, i have always had the compat_names option ticked
ah i see
@Amadeo , want some logs or something?
ah it worked. ok
you're gonna laugh because, i'm an idiot. i needed to run it on the other two machines. LOL
🤣, its all good at least its fixed
yes, thanks again
nice, got busy with work, checking notifications, already fixed
life should be like this, check it later and see if it's fixed 😄
