Hey everyone, I wanted to share my experience with a peculiar issue I encountered recently. After reinstalling my smart TV devices, I noticed duplicates appearing in my device list—smart tv 1, smart tv 2, and so on. To my frustration, clicking on these duplicates didn’t lead to any useful options like delete or deregister; instead, I’d just get a blank page with a search circle and a cross to close it. 
I tried everything from clearing cache to reinstalling the app, but the duplicates persisted. It was quite puzzling, and I couldn’t help but wonder if there was something I was missing. After some research and trial and error, I stumbled upon a solution that worked like a charm!
The key was to perform a factory reset on the devices. While this might seem drastic, it effectively cleared all stored configurations and allowed me to start fresh. I followed the manufacturer’s instructions carefully, ensuring the devices were within range and properly paired. To my relief, the duplicates were gone, and everything worked seamlessly afterward. 
This experience taught me the importance of thoroughly troubleshooting and not hesitating to reset devices when facing persistent issues. I hope this helps anyone else who might be struggling with similar problems!
Happy smart home tinkering!
