Feature Request: Description or Friendly Name field for Dashboard

ESPHome
1

Apologies if I missed that this already exists, but I haven’t come across it yet.
I have migrated from TasmoAdmin to ESPHome. One thing that I miss from TasmoAdmin was that it showed not only the device name but also the friendly name of each device in the list. It would be nice if ESPHome did something similar. Currently only the device name shows up in the ESPHome Dashboard which is [understandably] limited on what characters are allowed.

Thanks

Yes this will be on v1.14

Any idea when this feature is implemented? I’m already on v1.14 and no support for friendly names.

Look for comment

Sorry, looked everywhere, even in the release notes of 1.14.x. But I can’t find this feature.

Could you give an example how to use it?
