When using the opower integration with the energy dashboard, the data is retrieved via a statistic. However, the statistic’s name isn’t very end-user friendly.
I’d appreciate if there were a way to rename the statistic like any other entity in an integration/device, or failing that, at least a way to modify the display name of the stat that’s shown in the energy dashboard.
This doesn’t seem to be opower-specific, as someone else has posted in configuration asking how to do the same thing: How to rename a "statistics id"
Yes please. I asked about this on Github and the Opower developer unfortunately has no plans to remediate. So maybe an overall way to add a friendly_name to statistics like you can with a sensor would be a better bet. My personal feeling is that “Opower cned elec XXXXXXXXXXXXX consumption” looks terrible on a dashboard meant for a human being, and I would love to find a solution.

+1, i have the exact same issue with the Opower integration
Hoping that the new feature to change the display name of entities on the Energy dashboard can be extended to change display name for statistics as well.
