Homeassistant not naming node entities properly

Configuration Z-Wave
1

Running system: homeassistant on rasbian stretch, with the ZWave Plus Aeotec ZW090 Z-Stick Gen5, all installed in a virtualenv.

Starting recently, when I add a zwave node, not all entities gets named properly, meaning some of the node entities does not come out with the node prefix, see pictures below:

as you can see the entities in the attributes are showing the correct values, but the actual entity is wrong.

For troubleshooting, I did try to exclude the node and re-include it again with no luck. This node was already present in the system and it used to be properly configured until the battery went out and I had to reconfigured it. Also I get the same issue on a brand new zwave plus motion sensor from Zooz, same alarm type and alarm level show with no node name.

I can tell for sure that before .63 or .62 I was able to successfully add nodes with all proper entities and rename them without any issues.

Thanks,
Angelo.

Just added some water detectors on 65.5 and same deal. Sensors seem ok but binary sensors have this problem. Zwave device seems ok.

I had to update entity_registry.yaml to get it to show up correctly in 65.5. I hadn’t added any zwave devices in awhile, so I’m not sure when this change happened.

You rock Weok! I did have a new entity_registry.yaml file in my directory and all my zwave devices were in there. I will edit that one and will see how it goes… Thanks much!

See the docs which (as Weok pointed out) direct you to the entity registry for renaming entities.
