Light friendly naming

[JackieBrown (Dbroome1978)]

Is there a way to remove “level, on/off” from being added to the friendly name for all my lights?

[code-in-progress (Bill - I write code.)]

Yes. In the customize settings: Configuration > Customizations. There is a usually name associated with the entity you choose.

I meant more across the board as well as for new devices going forward.

Also, what is the difference between changing it in customizations versus in the zigbee section?

(I’m sorry for not indicating that these are zigbee lights earlier.)

I don’t believe so as it’s usually baked into the integration itself. Some integrations (like Zigbee2MQTT) use a different naming structure.

Changing it in Customizations puts the entry into a customizations.yaml file. Technically, there isn’t much of a difference that I’m aware of. I change them at the device level as well.
