By upgrading via the Settings page top-shortcut (/config/dashboard) all interfaces got duplicated

[kbalint]

First of all, thank you for your work on this integration!

The newer versions of HA alerts and makes component updates easy via a built-in feature on the Settings page's menu. However if I update Mikrotik_Router this way, it will get into some trouble, and every component got re-added.

I have a custom (handcrafted) page for the router, and it drives me mad to manually change the graph's / menus entities randomly :)

For example:

• type: entities title: Firewall entities:
  • entity: switch.mikrotik_router_nat_5
  • entity: switch.mikrotik_router_nat_6
  • entity: switch.mikrotik_router_nat_7
  • entity: switch.mikrotik_router_nat_8

becomes

• entity: switch.mikrotik_router_nat_10
• entity: switch.mikrotik_router_nat_11
• entity: switch.mikrotik_router_nat_12

in the 'old' ways of working it was not an INT value, but was named accordingly ex.: switch.mikrotik_router_nat_tpc_raspi_rdp

and for the graphs, sensor names fluctuate between the proper and a secondary:

sensor.mikrotik_router_pppoe_out1_rx becomes randomly sensor.mikrotik_router_pppoe_out1_rx_2

I have 10 graphs with 20 items, Total ~40 entities on this page, and randomly it becomes a NaN/NaN / entity not found mess :(

What is the proper way of updating this component?

Software versions

• Home Assistant version: HA 2023.10
• Mikrotik Router integration version: ? 0.0.0 (see below) according to Hacks it should be 2.1.4
• Mikrotik Hardware: hAP ac^2
• RouterOS version: 6.49.10 (stable)

yup, I'm aware of that. it has to do with how new HA methods handle devices. I have a solution already on other integration I'm currently working on and it will be migrated here too.
