I recently changed my Bluetooth hardware in Home Assistant and did not realize that my BTHome devices were no longer being detected.

As all these devices "paired" automatically upon enrollment to Home Assistant I had no idea that I needed to to re-pair them. While it seems obvious in hindsight- a quick blurb about the need to re-pair devices might be helpful. Maybe an example or two of how to do so on common BTHome devices?

For example: on my Shelly BLU Motion, once I realized what I had to do, it was as simple as holding the Control Button behind the back cover for 10 seconds and then while it was in pairing mode quickly reloading the Integration in Home Assistant.

I had actually tried holding the Control Button previously without reloading the integration without success. I'm actually not 100% sure if I needed to reload the integration while it was in pairing or if it just didn't pair correctly the first few times I tried it

I also initially thought I needed to Hard Reset the device and did so ...but it did not re-pair. Also I'm worried the Hard Reset put the device in "Bacon Mode" which uses more battery so now I'm error checking that.
