Troubleshooting

Message or symptom	What to do
“The dashboard is too old. Update the energy-node first.”	Update the node to v0.8.5 or newer.
“The dashboard cannot be reached at this address.”	Check the Tailscale name and the port, and open the address in a browser on the Home Assistant host.
“The dashboard speaks a different version of the history exchange.”	Update the node and the integration to current versions.
No address is suggested	Home Assistant has no MQTT device “Energy Node” yet, or the node has no Tailscale name. Enter the address by hand.
The sidebar page says “The dashboard cannot be reached right now.”	The node is offline or the address changed. Fix it under Reconfigure, see Setup.
A user does not see the sidebar entry	The Sidebar option is set to administrators only, see Dashboard in the sidebar.
Nothing is filled in	The missing time must lie within the recorder’s purge_keep_days. For details, enable debug logging for custom_components.energy_node_companion under Settings → System → Logs.

Support and feedback

Report problems with the integration as an issue in ha-energy-node-companion. The integration is developed in the energy-node repository under integrations/homeassistant/custom_components/energy_node_companion/, so pull requests belong there and not in the mirror.
