When you have deleted a device from Deconz you can run the serviceīut there are still many integrations that leave garbage behind and it is still a major flaw in the generic HA UI that you cannot force a device deletion. 1 minute to replace the physical light bulb and 30 hours to read the entire official deConz thread on the forum.

WTH Delete devices from GUI Month of "What the heck?!" So occasionally I need to go thru my entities list and disable a bunch of discovered entities from that integration. You can do a search on the topic of the Unifi integration in the forums to see a few threads that I’ve been involved in voicing my opposition to that functionality but I have been summarily dismissed and told “this is the way it is and will stay”. The rest are “disabled” - gone but not forgotten… My Unifi integration config shows every entity it’s ever discovered (all 91 of them) but I only have 17 of those actually listed in my entities page and that I’m actually interested in using. So, you, as the user, have only one option if you don’t want to see the entity and that is to hide it by disabling it (or again, remove it from the data that the integration provides upstream then remove/re-add the integration - but that’s not very satisfying to me either.) The integration should always provide all of the data to the system and then the user can decide if they use it or not. I’m not sure that there is a good reason but there is a reason.Ī while back the decision was made that users shouldn’t ever decide what data should be included from integrations.
