I see you can use customize entities with overrides but there is no property for the entity ID. I see you can also add a friendly name but are you stuck with the entity id the system creates or can it be changed?
I tried through developer tools states as an article stated but that does not work. I use the yaml frontend not gui.

You should be able to specify the the entity_id in your yaml config. Paste your device config here.
My devices so far are added by zwave and by my phone as I have the app loaded on it.
So what Iām asking is if a zwave device is added can I change the entity id of that device?

Then you can change the entity_id in the configuration / entities menu. Click on the device there.
I swear I tried that before and it was no letting me but now it is. thanks.
Before it was saying could not find entity. I need to retrace and make sure I didnt miss a step.
