How to use HACS Home Assistant Registry?

Third party integrations
1

I forgot to turn off BLE tracker, and now I have alike a centillion BT & BLE entities.

I have removed them from the known_entities.yaml, but they still persist in the entities list, and there is no direct way to remove them.

I read that the HACS integration Home Assistant Registry can delete them, and I see in the documentation that it can.

I just do not know where to place and how to ‘execute’ the service: ha_registry.remove_entity.

Also, a side question - is there a way to export entities from the web interface, or just form the known_devices.yaml?

Thanks!

If it is something you will run a lot for the same device then use a script.

If that does not apply then just run the service in Developer Tools → Services Actions

Thank you.

I try to execute the following

service: ha_registry.remove_entity
data:
  entity_id:
    - device_tracker.itag2

but get the error

Action ha_registry.remove_entity not found.

I noticed that the Github site has service: ha_registry.remove_entity, while the info page in HACS is service: ha_registry.updateremove_entity_entity.

I also tried where I replaced service: with action: to no avail. Re-installed HA Registry, and checked files, still same error.

Any other thoughts?

Sounds like the integration was not correctly installed.

Thanks. I will try to uninstall and reinstall manually.
