how to reset entities on Alexa app?
I started to do a trial run to configure the devices, but now I get more than 500 entities on the Alexa app. How can I remove them all in one go? Thank you

I don't think Alexa does that. Even if you disable HA skill, it will keep devices... 😦

Don't they disappear if you stop exposing them in HA? (Settings | Voice Assistants | Alexa)

[weak robin]

Nope, have to delete manually. At least it was so when I used it..

But after I delete them all, I add a filter on Ha to expose one entity at a time. Can this be done?

Can you write a formatting to better understand? Thank you

First you have to go to Voice Assistants - Exposed entities and uncheck Alexa from anything you don't want to expose. I'd suggest unchecking everything.
Then in same place go to Alexa VA section and uncheck "expose new entities" there.
After that add skill to Alexa and start exposing entities one by one.

alexa:
    smart_home: 
        filter:
          include_entities:
            - light.luce_corridoio

Can this be okay?

Did you do it with ChatGPT?

[faint dune]

did you do that?

[weak robin]

Ah, that!

I ask because I don't feel like recanceling 600 entities, I just finished 🙂

[weak robin]

I'm sorry to be misleading. I guess when you do it manually, it doesn't give you ability to manage exposure from UI, only from config?

My integration was through NabuCasa (when i used it). I got rid of Alexa now, but was using it pretty extencively

the first time I think I was wrong, because I had only put Alexa: Smarthome:, without filters

have you abandoned Alexa to switch to Google or to use your own locale?
