Several switches now detected after HA update

[Matt_Barnes]

So today I updated HA and have then spent most of the day trying to work out what all this new stuff that has appeared in unused entities is.

I have a multitude of new sensors that I don’t want, I have countless device-trackers that it seems you cannot delete like a device tracker for a Sky Q box just because it’s connected to my unifi Wi-fi but at the bottom of the list I have 5 switches:

One of which is switch.xboxone

I was wondering what this switch actually did? Flicking it on or off does nothing, it’s showing on while the Xbox is off.

What is it for and what in the latest update made it appear and can I remove it?

Please see the discussion in the release topic.

I really wish that these upgrading breaking changes were a bit better documented. Because the way it’s done right now, for example in the unifi setup, is to say feature X changed and it points to docs which say how it’s set up now. But what’s missing is an example of what the previous config should look like now i.e. how to migrate the config. This could be solved by requiring these examples to be included in the PRs. Another example using the unifi integration Options to not track wired cli…

But the short answer from the devs is;

As a user you should not aim to manage what is in the state machine. With Lovelace you pick and choose the entities that you want to see.
