I've been using the GivTCP add-on in home assistant for a while now with no problems. I had an additional battery added yesterday but can't get this to show in home assistant. I've changed the NUMBATTERIES_1 value to '2' but I don't see any new entities. Is there something else I need to do?

Have you restarted GiVTCP as it's a start-up parameter, not a live parameter?

4monks Yeah, I've tried that quite a few times...not sure why I'm expecting it to suddenly start working :-)

Fixed it now. I didn't have HA_AUTO_D set to 'true'...which it clearly says in the readme.
