Google home device not deleted if a device is renamed in google home

[skank01]

Describe the bug

After renaming a google home device in google home (the device switched room too) , the new device/entities are created by the addon, but the old ones stay present.
Even after reloading the addon....

This is not implemented. You can remove old entities manually in HA entity manager.

No you cant, you can only disable it.

You may need to restart HA first. Then it should be possible in entities registry:

Will be low priority as you can delete entities in HA directly as @KapJI have said 😊 Also adding auto delete, we will risc that devices will appear and be removed and appear again and so on.

Right now we use device_name in entity unique id. I think glocaltokens can provide some real device specific id for the device. Then HA should handle renames itself.

[DurgNomis-drol]

Let's create a separat feature for changing the unique id from device_name to a "Real" unique id. 😃

We can probably find a unique id from this endpoint.

We can indeed either extract something from eureka endpoint or simply generate uuid on glocaltokens side :)

Now that we use unique_id(https://github.com/leikoilja/ha-google-home/releases/tag/v1.7.0) for devices this feature should be fixed. But needs to be double-checked, before we can close the issue
