Can the channels of a 2CH smart switch be named independently?

In my home I have several light switches with 2 switches controlling different lights (e.g. outside light and living room light). I would like add zigbee smart switches from Tuya to control them from home assistant. To save space I was planning to use 2 channel switches for that instead of two 1CH ones. To integrate them I use zigbee2mqtt.

Here my question:
As this is just 1 device with 2 channels (and I assume it will be shown in HA as 1 device), will I be able to name the 2 channels differently, let’s say switch.light_outside and switch.light_livingroom, and will they be shown as 2 different tiles on the dashboard?

It should be one device with two switch entities.

The dual switch relay I have (non-tuya) gives default names of switch.device_name_right and switch.device_name_left. I would assume it could default to something like _1 and _2, depending on how the specific converter was setup.

But ultimately you can rename the switch HA entities to whatever you want (within the rules) just like any other entity.

Thank you for the info. I’ll go for the 2Ch version of the switches then.
