Anyway to reset mqtt database?

[anon91811138]

I’'ve removed my cell from Known_devices and commented out the discovery option, I’ve also pulled my cell from my WIFI, but HA keeps adding it to my know_devices.yaml. I think it might be pulling it from my MQTT, but the naming is all screwed up. I’d like to reset so I can start fresh. Is there anwway to do that?

If the phone is android…

MQTT Device Tracker and Owntracks - Remove old device id from HA

Don’t know about the iOS version, but in the Android version of Owntracks, if you go in to the friends list, select the device you want to remove, slide up the card at the bottom to see the device info, click the 3-dots and then select ‘Clear’ it will clear the MQTT stream for that device. Then delete the device from known_devices.yaml . There is no need to send any manual commands from Mosquitto using this method.

I presume the iPhone version has something similar.

I believe that HA will always add or re-add devices to the known_devices.yaml file. What I do is to set the track: option to false for those items I don’t want to see or worry about in the future.

Discovery is not for device tracker and does not affect known devices.

You must have device tracker component enabled. You can just delete the file but it will be recreated. In future you may set track_by_default=false
