Description of the bug
All of the sensors on my panel now say "unavailable" in Home Assistant. They do not report anything or respond when opened/closed or motion triggered. However, communication with the panel isn't completely broken as arming/disarming the panel from HA still works.
Restarting HA and rebooting the HA box doesn't help. Some sensors come back but eventually they all go back to being unavailable.
I've attached the diagnostics file available from the Device Info page.

Expected behavior
The expected behavior is for the sensors to report their actual state and not say "unavailable"
DEBUG logs
Here's a sample log entry from the debug mode. Nothing stands out to me

Additional context
No response
Hmm when I click in on one of the sensors I get this error.
Ok digging again, I now have duplicate sensors...
For example I have binary_sensor.back_door which is unavailable and binary_sensor.back_door_2 which is available.
Did you update to 1.3.0 recently?
I had done some testing to avoid that but it seems #95 might be the culprit. I made that change to make sure that sensors would keep their configuration in home assistant across changes of the panel, but I believe there might be a side effect for running installations, since the unique ID of the sensors now changed.
