HA renamed ESPHome entities after removing and adding a device

It is the name of the device. This is how entity ids (and names) are generated when you add a device now. domain.<device_name>_<sensor_name>

It is stupid and unneeded but this is how all other integrations work so ESPHome has to fall in line too. :roll_eyes:

There are mitigations planned for the ESPHome Builder config but they are not released yet.

There’s another topic here: HA 2025.5 ESPHome device names now on frontend

You can manually edit the names and entity_ids in Home Assistant. Be thankful it is only one device. This has affected people with thousands of names to change.
