Good day Gary. Unfortunately I have the same error, running icloud v3.1.4.2b2 and HA 2024.12.5. The problem occurred the first time yesterday at 20:51:21.

Best regards and a happy new year,
Marco

Ignore it. There is a character in a text field from the entity register that it’s being decoded incorrectly. I’ll try to add a test for it in the next update.

Ignore it.

Hard to ignore since icloud3 isn’t working.

OK. My mistake. I thought it doesn't work but it does. But unfortunately I got new entity ids with _2. I didn't do anything but suddenly my dashboard had errors due to the "new" entities.

@Friedi1970 HA adds the _2 if it’s internal tables think iCloud3 is already running when it starts up. I’m working on that now and can detect when HA does creates them, can rename it back to the correct one. I think the solution will be detect it, delete all sensors from the registry and set them up again. It should be simple to clear the tables but I need to find the hook HA is using to do it.

I’ll send you an updated patch module tomorrow to see if it fixes the \s issue without breaking anything.

@Friedi1970
I have completely redone the code that generates theSyntaxWarning: invalid escape sequence '\s' error message

Unzip the following zip file into the icloud3\helpers directory and restart HA.
patch_entity_io_v3.1.4.2b3.zip

@gcobb321 I updated and no errors so far :) Thanks so much!

Excellent. I finally got the error message and it appears it was a Python compiler message, not code that was running. When I got it, the error was pointing to code that was commented out. I deleted that code and the message went away.

Fixed in v3.1.4.4
