Ability to rename z-wave devices

Feature Requests
1

Currently I have 4 z-wave devices, 2 sensors (same model) and 2 lights (also same model). Current names are the following:

  • binary_sensor.aeotec_zw100_multisensor_6_sensor_6
  • binary_sensor.aeotec_zw100_multisensor_6_sensor_7
  • light.domitech_smart_led_retrofit_kit_ze27eu_level_4
  • light.domitech_smart_led_retrofit_kit_ze27eu_level_5

It would be great if I can rename sensors to easy identify them, like:

  • binary_sensor.kitchen_motion
  • binary_sensor.porch_motion
  • light.kitchen_light
  • light.porch_light

Thanks!

Take a look at .homeassistant/zwcfg…xml

IF you stop HA, then you can edit this file and add more meaningful names and locations





This now translates to light.kitchen_dimmer_level_9

You can also edit your devices names using OZWCP setup guide here, and either copy the zwcfg…xml into the .homeassistant directory, or be fancy and symlink them.

Just found this in a sample config in the docs. Haven’t tested this myself yet, but might be what you’re looking for.

customize: switch.aeon_labs_smart_energy_switch_switch_2: friendly_name: Mac Switch-Meter

But then you can’t use switch.Mac_Switch-Meter as an entity ID.

You will want to use OZWCP or modify ozwcfg…xml in order to rename Z-Wave devices.
