Home Assistant Integration - removing devices

[lanbrown]

If you have a Z-Wave device managed under Z-Way, the device gets created in Home Assistant with integration. If you delete a Z-Wave device under Z-Way, it still shows up in Home Assistant. Besides just disabling the device in Home Assistant, what is the best way to cleanup old devices from Z-Way in Home Assistant?

I want to know that too, I cannot delete it from my list and I still do not know how to do it

We are working on it now. The next release will handle it.

Just checking if there is an update to this? Deleting devices from core.config_entries is not an ideal solution as the file is quite large and needs to be properly formatted.

It is in work

In the interim I'm using a YAML editing tool. You need to be careful when editing YAML as it needs to be properly formatted. Remove one extra character or leave an extra character in and it will cause issues. The editor makes it simple to expand or collapse. Then I just use the preview for that node to see if it is something I want to remove or not. Then removing it is just hitting the delete key and it removes everything in that node.

This obviously won't help Windows or Linux people, but I'm using an App called Power YAML editor. It was $3.99 but it will save a lot of time and make it easy to delete what I don't want.

Any news on this?

Rename with say "Old - " at the front and use a YAML editor to remove them. Unfortunately this is the only way. I believe part of the problem is that HA doesn't make it easy to remove certain things.

Make sure you perform a backup, preferable a full backup before starting this. You also need to use a YAML editor so you delete the entire config for that device/entity. The YAML editor knows how to handle this. A normal editor does not.
