Any advice for entity ID naming?

Configuration Zigbee
1

When I connect a zigbee device I can set a friendly name. It automatically get’s more cryptic entity IDs, though. Example:

sensor.lumi_lumi_sensor_magnet_aq2_battery 
sensor.lumi_lumi_sensor_magnet_aq2_device_temperature

Would you recommend to rename the entity ID to a more friendly name, too, or to go with the autocreated ones? If so, is there a shortcut to rename all entities of a device at once? Also to prevent typing errors during batch renaming.

Thanks for sharing your experience.

Hello,

Unfortunately, it’s like this, sometimes it’s renamed, sometimes it’s worth rewriting manually so you know which device it belongs to.
