Entity name_override or device name displayed in Lovelace Entities card

Hey DeltaNu thanks for the tip, however this isn’t what I am looking for. In the default Lovelace dashboard, if you have a “Dining Room” area and “Dining Room Dimmer” entity within that area, when the card is built it removes “Dining Room” from the entity Name and instead changes it to “Dimmer”. I’m wondering how I can replicate that on my own Entities cards.

You have to manually add the name field for each entity in the entities card

I was hoping this wasn’t the answer (name override) but alas here we are.

Perhaps a feature request around this would be good. This ties into when adding devices from integrations automatically populating an area of the area name (exact) is in the device name.

Is github the best place for feature requests?

Feature requests on the forums is the best place for those
