Remove 'old' entity Z2M

Hey friends,

I recently wanted to add a switch in Z2M. There was an error message I wasnt quick enough to read. Something about the IEEE Adress.

Now I wanted to pair another switch (same model), however, nothing is found in pairing mode. And when I try to rename one of the exisitng switches to what I wanted to name the switch which had the error Z2M (or HA) tells me the friendly name is already taken.

Now to my question: is there a list of ‘old’ (unsued) entities other than the regular list under settings?

My hardware:

Thanks

Other folks probably have more insight about the name database, but I used see this all the time too. Now I strictly use the Z2M to force remove the entity, then re-add it or it’s replacement. I only rename the devices via Z2M with Update Home Assistant entity ID enabled.

Thank you for your reply. I do the same all the time. Hence, dont expect the problem to come from that direction.
