Change Area id

[otiel]

Is it possible to edit an Area id ?

I’ve seen that they’re stored in config/.storage/core.area_registry but I guess there are references to this id in lots of places. How can I safely edit an Area id?

Good question, change the name of an area, but the area_id continuos the same

Hi did you ever manage to resolve this? I’ve just raised this question in another post but have not had a response yet.

No, I haven’t found a solution yet.

Area Registry | Home Assistant Developer Docs

I modified core.area_registry and rebooted HA without any problems.

(Make a backup just in case.) The file is located at: /config/.storage/core.area_registry

Thanks!

After changing the area IDs in the core.area_registry file all my devices were without area. So I stopped Home Assistant and replaced all old area IDs (using the IDs from the backup) to new IDs in the file core.device_registry.
