    Reconfigure flow

    A flow that changes the settings of a config entry, like its host, without removing and adding it again.

    In code
    async_step_reconfigure
    In the UI
    Reconfigure
    Also
    reconfigure

    Removing and adding a config entry again loses the names, areas, and other settings users gave its entities and devices. A reconfigure flow keeps them.
