Human readable entity_id for entities triggering ZHA events

Configuration Zigbee

Is there a way to set an entity id for a ZHA device/entity so when it triggers an event it shows a human friendly entity id instead of all these mac-address type of ids?

device_ieee: "18:7a:3e:ff:fe:fa:d9:23"
unique_id: "18:7a:3e:ff:fe:fa:d9:23:1:0x0006"
device_id: "38f47e5fc2c4923330d949bf2c217673"

What sort of device are we talking about? You can change the name of a button:

But there is no entity_id for a button press.

For other devices you can edit the entity_ids as well as the names. Click on the entity, then on the cogwheel top right.

In ZHA it’s apparently the device that triggers the event (devices cannot be assigned an id) or an entity that is not visible in Hass. Because all the entities under the device have proper entity names but it’s none of these entities that trigger the events.
