I want to change the Entity Name of the “switch” that is generated by the zwave switch. So in the screen shots there is the “zwave.switch_3” and then there’s the “switch.switch_2”. I’m not exactly how HA creates the zwave device then associated switch device at setup, however I want to change the “switch.switch_2” entity name to “switch.switch_3” (i.e. with a 3 not 2).
Goal:
- I have a Zwave switch I’ve physically labelled “Switch 3” (so would like to stick with this name)
- I changed the zwave entity names to “switch 3” as you can see in zwave.switch_3, however
- I’m not sure how to change the “switch.switch_2” entity name to “switch.switch_3” to line everything up??? (i.e. this is the question)
Another Reason:
-
In my appdaemon apps the way I reference the current state and power consumption from the switch from my testing is via the switch entity name (c.f. zwave entity entity name), so my code looks like the below. So I’d really like to solve the question above so I can reference it as “switch.switch_3” and not “switch.switch_2”
self.get_state("switch.switch_2", "power_consumption"))
