Troubleshooting

The integration shows host:port instead of the repeater name

Reload the integration after updating to a current version. The integration now pulls the repeater node name from the pyMC stats payload when available.

HACS shows a placeholder icon

Home Assistant itself uses the integration-local brand/ assets correctly. HACS custom-repository icon handling has lagged behind Home Assistant branding changes in some versions.

The dashboard template references entities that do not exist

Check the actual entity IDs in Home Assistant. Dynamic entities like broker sensors, companions, rooms, and some statistics can vary by installation.

I changed pyMC brokers, companions, or rooms and HA did not add new entities

Reload the integration so it can rebuild dynamic entities from current repeater data.

The token name in pyMC is generic

Newer versions use the Home Assistant instance hostname when creating the API token. Reauthenticate or re-add the integration if you want the token name regenerated.

Some GPS entities are missing

GPS entities only appear when the repeater actually exposes GPS diagnostics through the API.
