Duplicated entities created automatically clogging up whole HA

[teymur1988]

Hi there,

This integration never failed me before and I've been using it for a while now. I have 6 ACs in my 2 apartments. 4 in one and 2 in another. The 4 are connecting directly to HA and 2 are connected via VPN. My 2nd apartment which is the remote site - internet went out for over a day and so did my homeassistant. The Homeassistant UI would keep disconnecting the integrations would time out. I started digging and found out that the gree integration was the culprit because by disabling it brought HA back to live. What I had was each device was repeated in every config entry. Too bad I didn't take a snapshot of that but I will try to describe how it was:

Normally the integration page should look like this (excluding the 2nd apartment ACs) cause I deleted them when I was making this:

Mine was showing like follows - each config entry had config entry number of devices in it:

Bedroom AC
- Bedroom AC - 17 entities
- Kidsroom AC - 1 entity
- Kitchen AC - 1 entity
- Livingroom AC - 1 entity

Kidsroom AC
- Bedroom AC - 1 entity
- Kidsroom AC - 17 entities
- Kitchen AC - 1 entity
- Livingroom AC - 1 entity

Kitchen AC
- Bedroom AC - 1 entity
- Kidsroom AC - 1 entity
- Kitchen AC - 17 entities
- Livingroom AC - 1 entity

Livingroom AC
- Bedroom AC - 1 entity
- Kidsroom AC - 1 entity
- Kitchen AC - 1 entity
- Livingroom AC - 17 entities

Which was really strange. Could none available devices cause this to happen? I ended up deleting all the entries and setting it all up again.

Now in the integration UI trying to click the settings button on the AC gives the following error:

And the following is seen in the logs:
