# Replace Device

> Replace Device is a Marketplace integration for Home Assistant. It has 52 installs sharing analytics, works locally and was last updated November 7, 2026.

From the [repository description](https://github.com/Clahen86/ha-replace-device):

> Replace a dead device or move many from ZHA to Zigbee2MQTT – the new one takes over names, entity IDs and history

[Open in My Home Assistant](https://my.home-assistant.io/redirect/marketplace_repository/?owner=Clahen86&repository=ha-replace-device&category=integration)

On Home Assistant 2026.10 or older? [Open it in HACS](https://my.home-assistant.io/redirect/hacs_repository/?owner=Clahen86&repository=ha-replace-device&category=integration)

## Supports

- **Works locally**: Talks to your devices on your own network. No vendor cloud in between.
- **From the Marketplace**: Installed through the Marketplace, formerly HACS.
- **Actively maintained**: Its author released or pushed a change in the last six months.

## Setting it up

Install it from the Marketplace and restart Home Assistant, then add it under Settings, Devices and services.

### After setup

- **AI Task entity**: Leave empty to not use AI. Tip: give it its own free Gemini key, so it doesn't share the daily quota with other things.

## Troubleshooting

- **Repair notices**: Notices it can show in Settings, Repairs:
  Sends no values

## 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.
