When a Smart Devices gets removed, the hoster loses building privilege to the Smart Device or rustplusplus just don't get a response from pinging it, the device is unreachable. In the image below you can see the Smart Switch
Switchcan no longer be reached. In this case its because of a force wipe, The Smart Switch does no longer exist. If the Smart Device is unreachable because the hoster lost building privilege, gaining building privilege again will make the device reachable again. But if the Smart Device was removed from where it was placed you might as well remove it from Discord, once a Smart Device gets removed the Entity Id is invalid. Even if you place the same Smart Device, the Entity Id will be different.
