I am just starting off on HA and have successfully discovered my Z-Wave network. In the Overview-Home tab I now have a bunch of devices which all have the same name (because they are the same device type). I successfully managed to give one device a friendly name and a new icon (for testing), as verified in the device representation under the “States” menu. However, the device still has the old name in Overview-Home tab (I have not added groups or views yet). Is there some kind of cache I need to clear or can someone please enlighten me why I am not seeing the friendly name in the Overview-Home tab? I am running 0.57.0 and have restarted Home Assistant under Services > Home Assistant > Restart.
The first thing I would try is to reload the cache - in Firefox this is done by holding down the sift button and pressing the reload button with the mouse.
Thanks for your reply. It was not browser caching though, but rather a typical case of noobism. Coming from OpenHAB, I am used to “Entities” being nicely organized per device as “Things”. I was just a little confused, and had renamed the wrong entity.
As a HA newcomer, I would really wish that entities listed under the “States” menu would be organized per device (perhaps as a tree), which would make it easier to see what belongs together. I would suggest taking a look at how OpenHAB has solved this (in PaperUI), which is much more intuitive.
