Generic camera name. UI config

Configuration Frontend
1

Hi! I added one network camera through configuration.yaml. Then got error in log:

Loading generic IP camera via configuration.yaml is deprecated, it will be automatically imported. Once you have confirmed correct operation, please remove ‘generic’ (IP camera) section(s) from configuration.yaml

Ok, cleared that from config. added second camera through UI, but there is no option to add name. I would like to use something other than automatically assigned IP. Can I do that? should I use yaml config?

Home Assistant 2022.8.3
Supervisor 2022.08.3
Operating System 8.4
Frontend 20220802.0 - latest

Thanks.

You should report a new issue (I confirmed that I too can not add a name via config flow).

Until further updates it’s possible to rename by going to entities section (in settings → devices and services → entities), changing the name there.
