Additional information
The soundbar is not integrated as a device. It always gets an entity. I can deactivate the entity and will get the warning in the logs:
When i push the turn off button ot the switch long, the soundbar turns off. But when i’m using it again, home assistent detects it again as a new entity - with another number behind lg_soundbar_…
I tried: discovery: ignore: - lg_soundbar - lg - media_player
that didn’t work
also tried:
discovery: ignore: - google_cast
media_player:
- platform: lg_soundbar
that didn’t work either
I’m not using the soundbar with ha so i just would love to remove it fully to have a chance to switch it of again

@patatman both (this and your) issue should be fixed with my pull request #42044. If you want you can test it (via custom_component). But it is currently stuck because of a unique id problem (see pr). Nothing we can do for now if nobody has a satisfying idea.
@bernimoses I have used hostname (self._host) I also tested the name (self._name) but the expected result did not return.
There are two problems here:
As unique id i am testing the hostname since that should not change unless the user does so. And so far it looks ok. What did you @amonhk use as unique id for homeassistant?
