Device change after damage - OhnsorgeSebastian - 03-05-2026

Hi all. I have a question. I am using a B24M configured as MQTT with Home Assistant. After it was damaged, I bought a new device. How can I replace the device while keeping the existing integrations (so that a new device is not created, but it replaces the damaged one)?  From what I see, the device is identified using a UID in the MQTT broker, so I guess I would need to somehow replace that.

yes, you only need replace the UID, different product have different UID.
