I have been trying to find out exactly what the zwave_device_config.yaml does after renaming entity_id and Friendly names. I have renamed all my entities and gave them friendly names. But today was looking in the zwave_device_config and noticed all the old names were still there. So for example:
zwave_device_config.yaml:
# Middle Bedroom Window Sensor Node 26
sensor.linear_nortek_security_control_llc_wadwaz_1_door_window_sensor_battery_level_5:
ignored: false
polling_intensity: 1
refresh_value: true
has been renamed to (from core.entity_registry):
{
"entity_id": "sensor.middle_bedroom_window_sensor_battery_level",
"config_entry_id": "cb27034bd49c9ce32cb5b33ac2882af2",
"device_id": "94a6ebae13ba48c7d25627afd4a99fcc",
"area_id": null,
"unique_id": "26-72057594480427009",
"platform": "zwave",
"name": "Middle Bedroom Window Battery Level",
"icon": null,
"disabled_by": null,
"capabilities": {},
"supported_features": 0,
"device_class": "battery",
"unit_of_measurement": "%",
"original_name": "Linear (Nortek Security Control LLC) WADWAZ-1 Door/Window Sensor Battery Level",
"original_icon": null
},
I do have this in my configuration.yaml:
zwave:
usb_path: /dev/ttyACM0
polling_interval: 60000
device_config: !include zwave_device_config.yam
I am sure there is some association the system confers from the Z-Stick Gen5+, but if go to Developer Tools and try to look up the OLD Name nothing comes up.
So will I get any benefit and/or possible cause harm if rename all the devices in the ‘zwave_device_config.yaml’?? Almost seems like the file isn’t really of use anymore, but I just don’t know!
Has the polling, refresh_value,… followed the new name? Any insights if worth my time to fix or possibly exclude from the configuration.yaml. Don’t want to screw up all the work already completed.
And YES, everything seems to be working fine!
Thanks
