Instead of having to customize each proximity entry, please allow the extra option Name, like:
proximity:
# https://www.home-assistant.io/components/proximity/
# Me
me_home:
name: Me Home
zone: home
devices:
- device_tracker.life360_me
tolerance: 5
unit_of_measurement: km
instead of having to do:
homeassistant:
customize:
proximity.me_home:
friendly_name: Me Home
for one proximity this would be such an issue, but when having a lot, the customize section becomes rather large…
Especially functional now we should add a name in a Lovelace card for each and every entity…
thanks for considering
Is the name not the key?
ie: change me_home to me if that’s what you want it to be called?
No, it isn’t. I should of course have given a better example though…
proximity.me_home, will show in the frontend as me_home, and not Me Home. I’ve edited the first post, sorry for that.
I know we can add names in Lovelace, and though a nuisance this is totally possible. A bigger issue is when we use auto-entities custom card, and we cant do that. Only solution now is set the friendly_name in customize.
Ive tried to set it and it is officially not allowed
Does this work
proximity:
Me Home:
...
Or maybe
proximity:
"Me Home":
...
?
I know a lot of integrations won’t have it like that, but groups do so you never know.
A yes, nice suggestion, though Id consider it a hack if it did…
with or without quotes though, got the slug complaint:
