Hi @mopahle first the provided error log messages are related to the AVM FRITZ!Box Tools but not AVM FRITZ!SmartHome so we can ignore them in this case. When you say "discovered as new on every HA restart", i assume you already have tried to just ignore the discovered device?

[mopahle]

No, they only came up as new device if I configure them. If I ignore them they are kept as ignored devices.

[mib1185]

ok, but than why not just ignore them, when they should not be configured even?

[mopahle]

Ignoring them looks like a workaround for me. My expectation is that either the devices should not come up if there is nothing to configure or they should not come up again after they were configured (even if they can not be used). Maybe a hint in the documentation will do it.
