1.4.0 found something that seems to belong to my Issue 1116

Here this BT instance hang in the waitstate as described in issue 1116, i tried to reconfigure it with no result. This is the debug log, it's not possible to reconfigure because the old instance is hanging in waitstate for a device. It is the same unique ID, but the old instance did not stop. As described in Issue 1116 a hanging instance from waiting for device does this for several hours here.

Same error her, had to delete the 'home-assistant_v2.db' file and then recreate the Better Thermostat entry to resolve the issue.
