Hi
I am very new to HA, but very excited about it’s capabilities, so would appreciate some assistance please.
I am integrating my Solar Assistant to HA. I have two pv systems, so two Solar Assistant devices.
Both devices show up in HA, but it seems the sensor data are entwined, as sensor name for one pv system is identical sensor name for the other. Is there any way, or any code to install to dynamically change the sensor name, or a friendly name to include the “Device Name” or “Device Identifiers” for recognition purposes? “Entity ID” for both sets the same.
Any help/assistance will be much appreciated
