From the README
A sensor died? Pair the new one – it takes over the old one's name, entity IDs and history. Your automations and dashboards keep working.
Feedback welcome. It has been tested on real moves between ZHA, Zigbee2MQTT, HomeKit and Matter, and checked against how Hue, Z-Wave JS and Shelly name their devices – but not yet on real Hue, Z-Wave or Shelly devices, and every home is different. If something doesn't move over as it should, please open an issue and say which integration you moved from and to. You can always fix names afterwards with Change.
