How do you replace devices?

3 months ago by EarMaster to c/homeassistant

I recently had to replace an old Zigbee bulb that had stopped working properly. How do you handle this? Do you manually replace all instances of this device in all automations, scenes, etc.? Or is there a magic button I am not aware of that makes this easier? At least I could use Spook to let me know which places I need to look at, but especially for scenes it is a pain because you need to reconfigure the settings for the device manually.

I changed my automations since the Labs Experiment and this months update to "turn any lamp in area living room on" with Purpose-specific triggers and conditions. Made it easier to switch out my window sensors lately.
