Hi! I am unable to update my konnected panels to ESPHome 2024.4.2 and get the following error message: “IDs must only consist of upper/lowercase characters, the underscorecharacter and numbers. The character ‘$’ cannot be used.”
When I check where the problem is, if I understand it correctly, it is with the yaml files provided by Konnected, not in my configuration.
Will those packages be updated soon or should I be looking for some other work around?
I am also suffering with this problem, as shown by the failure to validate the yaml file in the log error below:

This was my fault. It’s fixed now. 
This only affected people trying to automatically update via ESPHome dashboard.
Thank you for a quick response!
Now I get the following error related to the warning-beep.yaml

You probably just need to add to your substitutions section:
warning_beep_shared: "true"
See the default Alarm Panel configuration here as an example
Thank you, that helped! I thought that maybe it was related to this line:
allow_other_uses: False
