core: Duplicate TP Links devices in Sense app (different MAC addresses)

The problem

When I updated to 2022.5.0 this week, my Sense app started showing strange TP-Link devices. I had already configured emulated_kasa to work with Sense for a few power plugs I have in Home Asisstant, and everything was working correctly in the Sense app.

Howevwer, after the core update, my Wifi plug (Sonoff) changed its settings so that instead of the power being an atttribute of the plug, it was a separate sensor.

I corrected/updated these settings in my config, but one device is still duplicated in Sense – the dishwasher.

I already have history data for the original emulated_kasa plug in Sense for my Dishwasher and it was working great. Now however there are TWO emulated_kasa Dishwasher devices in my Sense app. The original, which has the correct settings and data, and the new duplicate, same name.

The MAC addresses are different however.

I am not able to Delete or Merge the devices in the iOS app like the Sense documentation suggests. I assume these options are not available to TP-Link based devices.

I have no idea how to resolve this so it’s just the one (original) Dishwasher in Sense.

Please help!
