Changing entity name - Yahoo Weather API

Configuration
1

Hi Guys,

I have just incorporated the Yahoo Weather API on my dashboard. I’ve created an overview of Today’s weather:

As you can see, there’s 3 temperatures; Current, forecasted high and forecasted low. I would love to know which is which by looking at the text, but all it says is “Weather Temperature”. I’d like to change the titles of the entities but I can’t seem to find a way.

This is what it looks like in configuration.yaml In the “sensor” part:

- platform: yweather
    woeid: 728940
    monitored_conditions:
    - weather
    - weather_current
    - temp_min
    - temp_max
    - temperature

And this is the group I created:

  weather:
    name: "Today's Weather"
    entities:
    - sensor.weather_condition
    - sensor.weather_current
    - sensor.weather_temperature
    - sensor.weather_temperature_2
    - sensor.weather_temperature_3

Can someone help me with this? Thanks!
