Hi all, in my integration I’m trying to assign default names to the sensors, based on unique_id.
This is because the sensor changes when it is translated, and takes its name from the translated entity_id.
Assuming I have a sensor with
unique_id: “batterysoc”
translation_key(ita translate): “Batteria Soc”
the sensor is called: sensor.batteria_soc, I would like it to be called sensor.batterysoc
in order to standardize the names for everyone, and give unique directives
class EpCubeSensor(CoordinatorEntity, SensorEntity):
def __init__(self, coordinator, description):
super().__init__(coordinator)
self.coordinator = coordinator
self.entity_description = description
self._attr_unique_id = f"epcube_{description.key}"
self._attr_entity_id = f"sensor.epcube_{description.key}"
self._attr_has_entity_name = True
self._attr_unit_of_measurement = description.native_unit_of_measurement
self._attr_device_class = description.device_class
self._attr_state_class = description.state_class
self._attr_entity_category = description.entity_category
self._attr_device_info = {
"identifiers": {("epcube", "epcube_device")},
"name": "EPCUBE",
"manufacturer": "CanadianSolar",
"model": "EPCUBE",
"entry_type": "service",
"configuration_url": "https://monitoring-eu.epcube.com/"
}
and for generate sensor:
translation_key = f"{base_key}_{suffix_label}" if suffix_label else base_key
sensor = SensorEntityDescription(
key=key,
translation_key=translation_key,
native_unit_of_measurement=unit_of_measurement,
device_class=device_class,
entity_category=entity_category,
state_class=state_class,
entity_registry_enabled_default=entity_registry_enabled_default
)
