I have a problem with the Homematic IP integration and need your help.
During a test phase, I configured two CCU3 hubs with various Homematic devices in Home Assistant.
At some point I deactivated the second CCU3 hub in the Home Assistant integration.
Since the second CCU3 hub no longer exists, I wanted to clean up Home Assistant and delete the devices and entities that were not needed/obsolated (20 devices and 600 entities).
I first encountered the problem that I couldn’t delete some of them, with the message under device info: “The device has been disabled by the Configuration”…
Message similar to this one: (screenshot from another community post)
I then read in a community post that in such a case I have to delete the integration so that I can then delete the devices.
Since I didn’t want to lose the entire configuration of my running CCU3 hub, I didn’t delete the entire integration, but only the instance for the second hub who didn’t exist anymore.
I was then able to delete some entities, but a lot of them still stubbornly remain in Home Assistant and I can’t delete them.
When I try to delete Homematic devices using the service “homematicip_local.delete_device”, I don’t see these devices in the pick list.
I then wanted to start the service to clear the cache “homematicip_local.clear_cache” (without knowing what exactly it does), but unfortunately that didn’t work either.
Then I get the following message:
“Error calling service homematicip_local.clear_cache. Unknown error”
I’ve run out of ideas…
Does anyone know how I could proceed here to cleanly delete the obsolated devices and entities from my system?
What does the clearing cache do and why doesn’t it work?
many thanks
I had no other option than to edit the core.device_registry file in HA and remove the devices there.
My system is now clean again and still alive
However, I still wonder what caused this behavior.
