Core: 17track default entity names not changed [seventeentrack]

[aneisch]

Home Assistant release with the issue: 0.85.1

Last working Home Assistant release (if known):

Operating environment (Hass.io/Docker/Windows/etc.): Centos 7 non docker

Component/platform: 17track

Description of problem:
Despite being on 0.85.1 my entity names are not changing save for a new entity that has appeared because it is newly tracked. I'm still seeing "sensor.17track".

Problem-relevant configuration.yaml entries and (fill out even if it seems unimportant):

- platform: seventeentrack
  username: !secret 17track_user
  password: !secret 17track_pass

Traceback (if applicable):

Additional information:
I've verified the contents of my /usr/lib/python3.5/site-packages/homeassistant/components/sensor/seventeentrack.py, and they match what is latest in Github for 0.85.1.

I've tried purging my sensor states from sql delete from states WHERE entity_id like "%17track%"; removing the sensor from hass, restarting, and then re-adding, but same result.

^^ This file contains the latest changes

@bachya any ideas?

This is likely because your entity registry has the old names. Open /config/.storage/core.entity_registry, delete any existing 17track.net entities, restart HASS, and see if that fixes your issue.

[aneisch]

This did indeed resolve the issue. Does something need to be done to allow for the proper migration of these names at large? I guess to take it one step further: I see that some of my old packages are still present in the core.entity_registry file. Is there a mechanism to prune this file?

[bachya]

Great question; @balloob, is there a mechanism in place for this?

[balloob]

Someone should make an entity registry manager.

The suggested workaround worked and the long term fix is out of scope for this issue. Thanks @bachya!
