I renamed an espHome device name, and after each restart, I get this repair warning:
1 repair
halloween2024-castletour is not permitted to perform Home Assistant actions
The ESPHome device attempted to perform a Home Assistant action, but this functionality is not enabled.
If you trust this device and want to allow it to perfom Home Assistant action, you can enable this functionality in the options flow.

Can anyone think of an easy fix, or should I simply delete the device and reinstall it?
Probably this. It’s not totally uncommon that I’ll have random issues with an ESPHome device interacting with HA and a removal/rediscovery always fixes it.
Deleting and re-adding won’t fix this. If your device provides services (actions) you need to allow this in the config flow, like the repair says to do:
If so the procedure for adding a new device (which is essentially what you are doing) on a previously used ESP board is to delete the device from Home Assistant first.
