Remove multiple devices

1

Hi,

I have a smoke detector which is connected via the RFXCom integration which created more than 250 devices, is it possible to delete multiple devices?

hi,

Same problem since a few months

and still no solution

3

Same problem. I have 710 Devices to delete. A year ago there was a delete option., but not now

4

Same issue, i have +400 devices to remove

5

I have the same issue, tried to remove by removing all entities from core.device_registry and core.entity_registry and core.restore_state. but they get restored once home assistant starts again.

And i have over 1500 devices and 6700 entities, most are the smoke detektor my neighbour has.

I wish there was a way to remove these easily

Welcome to device hell:

Have you solved that? My Mosquitto Brokers is flooded with thousands of Apple Continuity devices from TheengsGateway BLEtoMQTT. I don’t know how to get rid off them!

I’m also looking for a way to delete multiple devices…

Me to. 3524 devices and 13830 rfxcom entities.
I use only 20 I think.

There is a feature request you can vote on here: WTH Can’t I mass-delete (non-existent) devices?

@BHSPitMonkey I guess that FR is locked or something as I cannot reply.
Just wanted to add that my Fritzbox and Unifi integrations are also adding hundreds of devices. I’ve disabled their tracking of new devices, as I don’t really need network clients as devices/entities, but I suppose that option doesn’t remove ones that have already been added.

Of course, I’m not about to go and delete them one by one.

And also why can we bulk-add entities to a label or area, but not literally do anything else in bulk? I mean why specifically those two actions? It just seems oddly specific, what with HA as a product being setup in such a generic way.

I just re-upped the WTH 2020 and WTH 2022 entries regarding this huge problem, for WTH 2024.

Perhaps it gets some attention from our (volunteer! please be nice to them) developers this year - one can hope :wink:

Did anyone manage to get to the bottom of this? It can’t be the case that you have to go through every device one by one to delete it, surely? I have hundreds of iBeacon tracking thingies that I didn’t ask for that I want to get rid of.

I think I’ll just lump it and leave them there though. Not important enough to spend a day deleting them!
