Using MQTT add-on. All devices are showing up just fine everywhere. I have two of these dual and the second switch/relay, of both dual is not showing as an option. Only the one relay is showing. UI has them and I an using them. They show up as a device in devices.

Hey there @home-assistant/core, @emontnemery, mind taking a look at this issue as its been labeled with a integration (mqtt) you are listed as a codeowner for? Thanks!

[Eric-boop]

This is not a MQTT issue.

[dshokouhi]

@Eric-boop i tried to assign this based on the template you provided, please make sure to fill out the template completely including the integration at fault so I can properly identify the issue.

[Eric-boop]

Integration with MQTT works fine. All the devices are listed in Entities and in devices.

[dshokouhi]

is this a frontend issue then? meaning the issue is only present in the UI?

[Eric-boop]

This is the list in automation:

@Eric-boop
The problem here is that Tasmota uses the name of the first relay as the name of the device.
It's the same in Tasmota's web UI, the first relay is the name of the device.

The automations are device oriented, you have devices with several entities.
Choose "AC circ 1" as device, then you will be able to choose automations for "AC circ 1" or "AC circ 2.

A simple solution is to rename the devices in HA frontend, for example from "AC circ 1" to "AC circ 1 & 2" for example.

The devices that are missing in the automation selection are present in Entities, Under developer>services and in the UI Lovelace. I can control them in the UI. And they were present in the automation previous HA versions.

I do have then named different as seen in the pictures. And in TasmoAdmin.

@Eric-boop he is saying to rename the device itself under configuration > devices. The automation you are using is device based and not entity based. Go to configuration > devices and find AC circ 1 and when you select that device youll see both entities. Then just rename the device itself, devices are separate for entities. If you look at the drop down selection earlier it says to "Device" and not "Entity". Entity selection comes after the device.

[Eric-boop]

Yes, that worked! Thank you all for your patience. I will do better at filling out the form in the future.
