Hue problem - "Platform hue does not generate unique IDs"

Hi!

Just recently started to get this error:

“Platform hue does not generate unique IDs…”

it then says then that it ignores these entities (my Hue bridge, and 2 Hue lights). What ends up happening is all my lights stop working and HA complains further that it cannot connect to Hue lights and bridge after the ignore error.

Its happened twice so far. A restart of HA does fix the issue, but I was wondering why this happens and how to make it more permanent of a fix?

The problem seems to orignally start with the issue of unique IDs, then the connection problems come after that. Why is it complianing about unque IDs?

10 Attempts to (re)connect to bridge failed - This might be an indication of connection issues.

### The problem Sporadically, and out of nowhere, my Hue Integration (1 bridg…e, 2 hue lights) throws the error code and renders control of Hue devices inoperable. It then ignores the hue intergration lights and entities, and then the log fills up with unable to communicate with bridge and lights. A restart of HA fixes the issue, however, it has happened twice already. The problem seems to orignally start with the issue of unique IDs, then the connection problems come after that. Why is it complianing about unque IDs? Also, when looking the integration entities, there are a couple of entries that are added (circuled in red) and the onces circled in green the actual lights (2 of them) ![Hue](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/79593761/174350777-7bc4fc5b-9ced-4fc1-85fa-fb93ecebf6a3.png) ### What version of Home Assistant Core has the issue? 2022.6.6 ### What was the last working version of Home Assistant Core? _No response_ ### What type of installation are you running?
