After renaming a device it starts to report as undefined.

What happened

After renaming certain devices they stopped working.
They are all aqara devices. I renamed them using hassio integration. After renaming if I check the logs I can see errors about undefined devices popping everytime I activate one of the renamed devices.
Xiaomi button and a ikea bulb renames without problem, but the rest of aqara devices suffer from this problem.

What did you expect to happen

To rename them and still work

How to reproduce it (minimal and precise)

Debug info

Will post later this info
Zigbee2MQTT version:
Adapter hardware: CC2531, CC2530, CC26X2R1, CC1352P-2, Conbee II
Adapter firmware version:

I was looking for the opposite a few days ago. Renaming the device changes the name of the entities (this is my expected behavior). There should be a dialog like in home assistant renaming system if we want to rename the entities too.

Renaming the device changes the name of the entities

Isn't that exactly what is expected? For some sensors it works (home assistant recognizes the new name) but for some others it just doesn't work because the explained behavior

The new api allows to specify wether to also update Home Assistant entity IDs, see https://github.com/Koenkk/zigbee2mqtt.io/blob/new_api/docs/information/mqtt_topics_and_message_structure.md#device zigbee2mqtt/bridge/request/device/rename , to enable the new api see #3281

Thanks @Koenkk, for now I repaired the decides and they picked the new name (in hassio they also have the new name, but they use the Mac as id). I'll check the new api if I get a chance
