Hello,
I wanted to change software from an ESP device. This then led to a duplicate device entry.
How can I delete these two devices (only one exists)?
edit:
I can only delete one device!
However, when I delete that, the other thing remains, which has no entities and cannot be deleted.
I do not understand that!
Does anyone know what I have to do to remove this completely so that I can insert everything cleanly and new under HA?
There was a note about reusing ESP devices in one of the last releases. You have to delete it from Home Assistant before reusing it.
Try this:
Delete the new device.
Flash the old firmware to the device (the yaml file is probably still in config/esphome/trash ). Add that to home assistant, then delete it.
You can now re-flash the new device and add it to home assistant.
The other way is to dig around in the home assistant registry, but that is fraught with danger and can trash your whole system with one comma out of place.
Suggest to use three dots at the right side of line and press DELETE.
Then wait notification to add/register device which still online.
Or add it manually.
