Deleted/Changed entities result in entities that are no longer exposed.

[M-See]

The problem

If you change the list of exposed entities or delete entities in the configuration.yaml, some previously functioning entities are suddenly no longer recognised/working with the error "Entity not exposed: number XY".

This seems to be because the emulated_hue.ids in the /config/storage folder is NOT adjusted/overwritten according to the changed configuration.yaml script. One must then manually delete the no longer existing entities from the emulated_hue.ids so that entities are exposed and recognised again at all.

See here for discussion in the community: Link

(besides, exposed input_booleans seem also not to work on voice commands. Alexa plays a sound but nothings is executed..)

Also, after editing the emulated_hue.ids and deleting the entities that are not defined in the configuration.yaml anymore, in the Alexa App ALL (even all deleted and previously defined entities) are exposed there (so sometimes double entities as well)..

There seems to be something wrong for sure.

Same issue here after removing from tghe emulated hue yaml. Manually removing the lines from /config/.storage/emulated_hue.ids did the trick.
