You used to be able to customize and entity such as name from a cog when you clicked on the entity in the front end. That’s gone now?
The only way I’ve found now is to go through the Configuration -> Entity Registry but there is no easy way there to correlate the entity with the actual zWave device. For instance I’ve lost all of my customized names for several light switches and since there is no way to turn the light off/on in the Entity Registry and I can’t customize it from the Overview page, how do I know what to rename it to?
As far as I can tell you can’t change the entity_id which is what I’m trying to do. I had created a bunch groups using the customized names but all of the sudden they’ve reverted back to their default entity_ids. Now I can’t find a way to change them back.
For instance I originally changed switch_inovelli_nzw30_smart_switch_w_scene_switch_7 to switch.dining_table_light using the cog. It reverted back to the default but now the cog is not there and I can’t change it back to switch.dining_table_light
And there is no option to change the entity_id in the Configuration -> Customization page.
Oh, I didn’t even know that was previously an option in the GUI. I did it in the back end previously.
Just FYI it’s in the .storage/core.entity_registry file
I must be missing something that it did previously then.
If you change the entity_id back end or GUI, you need to update to that new id everywhere that it is used. Cards, automatons etc.
