Friendly name based on where it appears?

On my main view I have lots of groups which are room based.

Previously many of my sensors had room specific names, but it looked a bit silly to have a “Kitchen” group containing “Kitchen Lights” and “Kitchen temperature” etc. so I used customize to rename them to just “lights” and “temperature”. The thing is, that doesn’t make sense when I want to group differently in another view, such as all the temperatures under “environmental”.

Is there any way to rename a sensor that takes into account where it is used? Can the same sensor somehow be shown as “temperature” in one place and “kitchen temp.” somewhere else?

Not that I know of. I had this issue and I ended up giving items unique names that have no room meaning. Like I have an island in my kitchen, so I named the lights Island lights.

That’s a shame. Thanks for the reply.
