Greyed out newkaku devices from rflink

Configuration
1

I’m using an rflink device for integrating into my existing KAKU devices. I’ve not integrated all devices, but right now I have the following entries in my configuration.yaml:

rflink:
  port: /dev/serial/by-id/usb-Arduino__www.arduino.cc__0042_854383639383517091F1-if00

light:
  - platform: rflink
    devices:
      newkaku_0093045f_2:
        name: "Main hall"
        aliases:
          - newkaku_00935af3_2

switch:
  - platform: rflink
    devices:
      newkaku_01e26433_1:
        name: "Boiler"

This works OK, in that I get the buttons I need to toggle the light in the main hall, and turn on/off the boiler. The aliasing also works so that regardless of which physical switch I use to turn the light on/off it’s registered by home assistant.

What I cannot figure out is why I get extra greyed-out “light switches” for the aliased switch and for the boiler:

One of those greyed-out buttons is for the aliased switch for the light, while the other is correctly shown as a switch for the boiler. I’d like to not show these greyed-out switches, as they aren’t useful at all. Is there a way to do this besides individually hiding them?

Maybe these devices were added to HA before you configure it in your yaml?
I would try to delete both and check if they appears again after restar or when physical buttons are pressed.

Yes, looks like this is my mistake. I made the assumption that automatic_add was off by default (it isn’t), so I got other devices auto-added. I’ve removed those devices now and turned auto-discovery off.
