In HA is one Device visible which no more existent. It cames from the HomeaticIP local Integration.

It is not existent on my CCU3, but HA still show this device. Does anybody know how to delete this device without delete and reinstall the whole Integration.

answer from developer: use homematicip_local.delete_device :man_facepalming:

That works indeed :slight_smile:

Hi Botfixer,
nice that you fixed it :wink:
Could you explain or provide more info how to use delete_device or where to find info about it?
Thanks a lot

sure,

just use the Service in the Developer Tools in Home Assistant:

delete_deviceHA
delete_deviceHA1863Ă—821 86.1 KB

  1. Choose Service: Homematic(IP) Local: Delete a device
  2. Select the device you want to delete

Thanks to botfixer,
I fixed my problem, learned a lot and found a big bunch of new possibilities :slight_smile:

I am a new HA user and have the same problem with several phantom devices, which I deleted in RaspberryMatic. Unfortunately with the actual “Homematic(IP) local” integration version 1.81.2 the command “Delete a device” does not exist anymore in the developer tools.

Is there another possibility to delete phantom devices?

By chance, I found the solution myself. It is possible via the GUI of HA 2025.3:

  1. Open the device view of the phantom device
  2. In the „Device info“ card click on the the three dots behind „Download diagnosis data“
  3. Click on „Delete“:

Hi @botfixer please take the time to mark the solution as the answer, you do that by selecting the three dots under the post:

Then select the check box:

By doing so:

  • this thread can be useful to other users as well (this thread comes up as solution when starting a thread which is similar to yours).
  • this prevents that someone else steps in trying to help

Thanks for giving back to the community! :+1:
