Been running HA for a few weeks now. Have 5 SPmini switches, 3 RMmini IR controllers and 3 Orvibo switches. I added a switch last night and everything seemed fine. Using the e-Control app from Broadlink on my iPhone I was able to detect it and add it as a switch. Using the app every thing works fine. Added the switch to my HA setup ( was detected in knowndevices.yaml when I looked there. One switch is connected to the bedroom lamp and another to a dehumidifier.
Now the weird part…Starting HA with lamp off and dehumidifier on shows state of both off. When I turn on the lamp the switch on HA for the dehumidifier changes state to on. When I turn off the lamp the lamp is turned off and the state changes to off but the dehumidifier stays on but its state changes to off.
I turn the light back on then I turn off the dehumidifier off. The light turns off and the dehumidifier stays on.
Here is what I have in known devices.yaml ( I modified the name manually ).

Noticed that the MAC address is very similar but still unique. I have one other switch with similar MAC address - the other two switches start with B4:43:0D.
Config check passes. No errors in the log. Again - everything works fine using the e-Control app.
Any pointers on how to debug this - other than throwing away the new switch and getting another.
