After re-pairing a zigbee device, the device shows up as a new set of accessories in homebridge (the old goes away only after a restart!), and they are practically identified as new accessories, although they do keep their old name!
This means that setup in Homekit needs to be redone.
This is especially annoying with smart lights. As kids push the buttons for a few seconds triggering a re-pair. Destroying existing automations.

Is there a setting to disable this behavior?
