Sometimes some of my automations don’t trigger, so when I look at the trace to find out why, I’ll see something like unknown entity. Does anyone know what’s happening and how to fix it?

See that’s the weird thing. I haven’t removed or renamed any devices and most of the time everything works, but once in awhile I get these errors.
Once I had devices that replaced entities with new ones with a different ID after a firmware update. It happened to some ESPHome devices I had after upgrading the firmware. Have you checked the device the entity belongs to?
Yup, once I manually trigger the automations, everything starts working again
Very strange. Are you yaml based or automatic builder based? Can you post your code/screen shots?
Automatic builder. Just had it happen again

Have you looked at your logs to see if anything looks fishy? Check your main logs but also the logs in your zigbee integration
Also it may be time to submit it as a bug.
So I’ve been going through whatever the search engines would throw at me and it seems some people have become so accustomed that they have automations to send alerts. I’m gonna try and track down more info so I can file a decent bug. Hopefully they squash it for once and for all.
