BamBamF16 Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 I have a couple of power strips that work fine in NS but are better served with HA as the primary controller. i would like to prevent the strips from being imported in the NS and only use the HA integration. Is this possible? Will this work if I check the delete button? Link to comment

Furthermore, even if you don't use a specific Kasa device they should not bother having them in ISY. Put them in a separate folder if needed. BTW there is no conflict having Kasa devices in both ISY (Node Server) and HA (Integration). That is what I have. Edited February 27, 2023 by asbril Link to comment
BamBamF16 Posted February 27, 2023 Author Share Posted February 27, 2023 The issue I have isn't in ISY, its in HA with the double devices for each power port. Trying to eliminate from ISY, since I don't use the strips there at all, so that I only have one of each switch in HA. I suppose as a work-around I could disable the ISY imported ones in HA.

I understand your situation. I also have the same Kasa device twice in HA, one coming from ISY and one from the Integration. It is not an issue for me as I select just one (whichever of the two) in HA Cards and Automations. Link to comment

I don't remember how it works (as I don't use HA), but remember seeing other posts about the "ignore me" function being a way to keep some ISY devices out of the HA side. I think others that use HA currently would be better able to tell you how to incorporate that. But that way it isn't imported into HA. I think the default was {ignore me}, but suggestions were made to change it to a simple symbol or shorter text. Perhaps that way you wouldn't have to delete them from the ISY/Node Server, but they also don't import into HA if you ever ran an update again that somehow imports items. More info: https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/isy994/ Quote Ignore String: Any devices that contain this string in their name (or folder path) will be ignored by Home Assistant. They will not become entities and will not fire control_events. The default is "{IGNORE ME}". Link to comment
