As I am transitioning from Smartthings to HASS, I’m trying to make this as SWMBO accessible as ever. The Lovelace interface is a nice alternative to the integrations to ST that I could never get to work quite right (Ourgroceries integration is a god-send). That being said, while playing around, I noticed a weird discrepancy that I don’t know how to rectify. I have setup a customize.yaml file for friendly names and icons for of some of my devices. I noticed these did translate to the Dashboard Cards. However, since the dashboard cards are grouped, I’d rather give simpler labels. So, for example, I have a card with ‘Current Weather’ pulling data from my Ambient Weather Monitor. For identification in the rest of the system, Ambient Weather entities are prefaced with ‘MWS’. Not necessary in the card labeled ‘Current weather’. So, I went and customized the names via the lovelace edit interface. The kicker is the card labels do not change. The card icons do not change. However, the entity friendly names and icons do and I have no (obvious) way of undoing the change… Any thoughts? Running this on a Raspberry Pi 4 via the official image.
It’s a bit hard to follow. Can you show the relevant Lovelace config plus screenshot and explain what should change?
Here are the steps to repeat:
Here is my weather card:
Click on one of the items in the card and go into configuration:
As you can see, the names even at this point do not match. The label in the card matches the friendly name I have set up in configuration.yaml
Change the name in the configuration box to another name:
I would expect this to update the label in the card, but it does not.
Clearing the cache has no affect.
However, when I go to look at the item in the Configuration->Entities, it shows as the name I changed it to in the previous step and not the name specified in my configuration.yaml file:
So, the question is, where is this updated name stored, and why is it not consistent across the different displays?
