HomeKit - Error When Configuring Device Triggers

[Garywoo]

The problem

I have previously experimented with device triggers, however the non-static device assignment IDs caused me problems with HomeKit automations changing unexpectedly after HA restarts, so I stopped using them, and found other workarounds using automations and virtual entities. I see this issue was fixed in the 2022.11 release, so I wanted to try them out again.

When I configure the HomeKit integration though the UI and select an one of my Apple TV's as a device trigger in the final Advanced Configuration step of the config, I get an error upon saving.

The part of the error I believe is pertinent is here, while the full error is included below:
RuntimeError: Cannot assign IID 131 to <service display_name=StatelessProgrammableSwitch unique_id=changed_states- chars={'ProgrammableSwitchEvent': None, 'Name': '', 'ServiceLabelIndex': 1}> as it is already in use by: <service display_name=StatelessProgrammableSwitch unique_id=changed_states- chars={'ProgrammableSwitchEvent': None, 'Name': 'Changed_States', 'ServiceLabelIndex': 1}>

I have looked for an existing entity related to this stateless switch in the HA developer tools, but cannot find one. I also deleted my automations which were triggered by this device in case there was a conflict. I've also tried restarting HA after deselecting and reselecting the device triggers in the UI config without any success. The same error persists.

Device triggers still need a lot of work for HomeKit. After I finish fixing #80703 , I'll try to take a look at this one

[bdraco]

Both of these should be significantly less work than the stable ids

Unfortunately, end of year means less time to work on homeassistant since my "day job" is much busier

Is there a workaround available?
