ESPHome device detected as new device

I’m a novice to ESPHome but not home assistant.

I’ve been using the Bluetooth proxy app with some other customizations for a while and it has worked well. Sometime in the last few days it stopped working and I noticed it is reported offline but a new identical device is discovered. What is the best course of action here to not have to reset up everything else that works off of this (like automations/dashboard)…is this a known issue?

Thanks

As far as I can see these are 2 different devices, ie. different yaml files. Did you upload a new firmware to the device?

Thanks for your reply. The only action I would have taken is triggering an update from the HA update notifications for esphome.
