I changed my Zigbee dongle from a Sonoff -P to a Sonoff -E. The old -P coordinator is still showing up in ZHA. How do I completely and utterly NUKE the entire ZHA install and start over? It's at the point I'm ready to wipe HAOS and just start fresh. I can't find any way to remove or disable ZHA. I just want to start completely fresh, as if I'd never installed any Zigbee devices before.

I've tried using zha.remove in Developer tools > Actions. The dongle is still listed in the Zigbee devices list.

Okay, I'm throwing in the towel. I've deleted the following:
zigbee.db
.storage/zha*
core.device_registry
core.entity_registry

and I still see the attached image in HA.

I don't have enough on this HAOS install to care about wiping it. I'm wiping it and starting over.

The Sonoff-E dongle is so much better its not even funny.

#

instant interview when pairing devices.

#

Let it be known that the Sonoff -P dongle sucks farts and should be avoided at all costs.

#

i never got OTA update notifications when using the -P dongle.
