3. Select the three dots {% icon "mdi:dots-vertical" %} menu from the application credentials you created for the Home Connect integration and select **Delete**.
4. Add the Home Connect integration again under {% my integrations title="**Settings** > **Devices & services**" %}
### Unavailable entities for a device
#### Symptom: "The entities related to an appliance were available but no longer are"
After reloading the Home Connect integration, the entities related to an appliance that used to be available are no longer available.
Also, when downloading the diagnostics data from the device entry, the following data is obtained:
```json
{
"data": {
"connected": false,
"status": {},
"programs": null
}
}
```
##### Description
Unavailable entities can have multiple causes:
- The appliance is turned off. When it is turned off, the appliance is disconnected and the API does not retrieve information about the appliance.
- The appliance is experiencing a network issue.
- The Home Connect API is experiencing issues.
##### Solution
To try to solve the above issues, follow these steps:
1. Turn on the appliance and reload the Home Connect integration.
2. If the appliance is turned on and the issue persists, check the network connection of the appliance and perform a soft reset on the appliance.
3. If the issue persists, check the connection of the appliance with the Home Connect API by checking it in the Home Connect app.
1. Open the Home Connect app.
2. Go to the appliance that is experiencing the issue.
3. At the bottom of the screen, open the settings menu.
4. Go to the **Network** section.
5. Verify if the appliance is connected to the cloud:
- If the line between the appliance and the cloud is red and with a red warning icon {% icon "mdi:alert-outline" %}, the appliance is not connected to the Home Connect API.
- If the line between the appliance and the cloud is green, the appliance is connected to the cloud.
4. If everything is correct and the issue persists, contact Home Connect support.
