Is there a way to change some sort of a TEXT template from Home Assistant (similar like how you can make a Number template, for configurable values) that is next used by the ESPHome?
Ideally I would use it to configure name and friendly name, so I can have multiple similar devices, without having to compile each one.
The process would be:
-
Apply standard firmware.bin with generic name
– it would register itself with that generic name, and sensor ID’s with that generic prefix -
Reconfigure new name and friendly name
-
Delete the device from Home Assistant
-
Rediscover the device from Home Assistant
– it would now register itself with the new custom name and sensor ID’s with that new prefix
I cannot figure out how to do this, as I cannot find any “Template Text” similar to “Template Number”
