Extra mystery ESP Device, doubled up Entities

[cheesemaker7651]

For some unknown reason I have 2 devices showing up, when I would expect only one:

When I click into the devices, I see this:

The 2nd mystery device (which I renamed Ghost) has no entities. How do I delete this device?:

And a 2nd problem, the main device has a double up of entities:

When I use the “Clean MQTT” tool in ESP Home, the double ups disappear, but soon come back mysteriously after an hour. I think the double ups are coming from the ESP MQTT publishing. How do I solve this? I actually only need to publish the “Ring HK Chime” to MQTT.

Here’s what I have in my ESP code:

You should be able to publish all the data to mqtt but avoid home assistant auto discovery by setting the mqtt config options “discovery” and “discovery_ip” to false.

As for deleting the ghost device, go to the main integration page for esphome, where each device has the word CONFIGURE on the right side, and click the vertical 3-dot menu next to that. Edit: if you don’t want to delete both, also check the vertical menu next to the VISIT link.

In the past I have deleted both entries and then re-added (after making a note of the fixed IP address). Sometimes the integration seems to get a bit confused
