ESP32 Devices Getting Confused and Combined

[dHAS (David)]

I have quite a lot of ESP Devices, over last few days some problems with a few unavailable in HA, when I look in Integrations a lot of different devices seem to be combined.

I think I may have seen something similar in the distant pass - concenr is if I remove everything will it all connect again.
Any thoughts - sometimes in the HA logs I have seen warnings about the IP addresses of the ESPs changing.

Looks like you flashed (or “installed”) new yaml’s (with different names) to devices which were already running esphome before and didn’t deleted the corresponding esphome integration in ha. The moment you add the same device again (with a new name) it will double the esphome integration for that device

Any thoughts

As you not only have doubles but even quadrouples the quickest solution might be just to delete all esphome integrations in ha (not your esphome yaml’s in the dashboard ), then restart ha (just to be save no cache is messing things up) and then just go ahead and add all your (existing) and probably discovered esphome nodes again to ha.
