Is it possible to rename "“switch” on the front panel?
All my switches are listed below as Switch. I want to give Switch a different name.
You can customize any entity in HA.
You can give them all friendlier names using customize. https://home-assistant.io/docs/configuration/customizing-devices/
I do not mean the devices (entities) in this group.
I want a different standard group name. My switches put them self in a group called: Switch.
But there is no group called Switch. Only I can find group.all_switches that are containing the devices.
I created a friendly name for this group:
group.all_switches off entity_id: switch.sonoff,switch.sonoff1,switch.sonoff2
order: 7
auto: true
friendly_name: Schakelaars
hidden: true
assumed_state: false
After I restarted Hass it’s still displayed as: Switch
Do I need to change a template for this?
Create a group?
default_view:
view: true
icon: mdi:home
entities:
- group.living_room
Living Room:
- switch.blah
Thx I found it!
So only the group part was not working for this:
At first I created the group:
Verlichting:
name: Verlichting
view: false
entities:
- switch.sonoff
But it was still showing as a switch on the frontpanel.
Then I created a customization:
group.all_switches:
friendly_name: Verlichting
That did the trick. I am not sure why.

Hello @dendrees and @azeroth12
I’ve been hitting my head against the wall here and just cant change the card’s name even following your example.
customize file looks like this:
indent preformatted text by 4 spaces
group.all_switches
friendly_name: Luzes
switch.frente:
icon: mdi:lightbulb
switch.meio:
icon: mdi:lightbulb
switch.fundo:
icon: mdi:lightbulb
switch.sonoff_power:
icon: mdi:lightbulb
Groups file looks like this:
indent preformatted text by 4 spaces
sala:
name: Sala
view: yes
entities:
- switch.frente
- switch.meio
- switch.fundo
- sensor.temperatura_temperature
Any ideas on how to change that Switch card name!?!?!?? Thank you!
Your formatting is all messed up here, there is a code button you can use to fix that. Right now your code is unreadable.
