Jean-Yves Avenard cf4b6307ae Provide compatibility with older Home Assistant installations. (#39539)
Prior 0.113 all lights and switches were reported as dimmable devices and this was fixed by #37978.
However, under some circumstances Alexa will not smoothly transition from those broken devices to the new ones as it cache the list of entities.
It is imperative to have Alexa rediscover all devices and then remove the now non-responding duplicates using the Alexa phone App. This can take quite a while if you have lots of devices.
An alternative would be to log to the Alexa web site and remove all the lights instead and then re-discover them all.

If you have multiple echo devices on your network, it is possible that the entries would continue to show as duplicates. This is due to an individual echo devices caching the old list and re-using it.
The only known solution for this is to remove your echo devices from your Amazon account and re-add them.
After that, have Alexa rediscover all your devices.

This is a one-off requirement.
