I do not know exactly how it works with updating the IKEA devices.  
But when tou remove a device and add it again it will get another ID and the flows are broken.  
But if you write down the used ID, remove the device, add it again and write down the new ID then use this script from @martijnpoppen  
It is better to copy/paste the ID’s.  
You can also add multiple ID’s at once.
