Name Overide Not showing on GUI

Configuration
1

Hi All,

Bit stumped and I know Im missing something basic on this one.

I have installed a sonoff 4ch device and all is working fine. Switches switch, devices turn on and off and lovelace ui shows that devices are running or stopped.

However, I changed the 4 Entity ID names of Zone1, 2, 3 and 4 by clicking the cog and typing into the Name Override so I see Fountain, Garden, Path but on one of the names I see zone2 and Not the name I created in override.

I have looked everywhere that I can think of and the override name, lets say Driveway, is showing up everywhere, except for the GUI. I checked /config/.storage/core.entity_registry and this is showing
“entity_id”: “switch.zone2”
“name”: “Driveway”,

Everywhere I look I see name Driveway.

Any ideas.

Thanks in advance.

If you use autodiscovery, the easiest way is to change the names in the tasmota console.

Hi @francisp

I tried this and nothing changed.

Also, it has no negative effect on the other 3 zones.

Their must be a config somewhere that is still holding onto the zone2 name and not letting it display what I have overridden.

Did you do again setoption19 1 ? It won’t take effect until you do.

No change applied name Driveway to sonoff config reboot ran setoption 19 1 rebooted hassio

For anyone who reads this in the future the answer is that in my /config/customize.yaml file I had a single line under switch.zone2: which was friendly name Zone2.

Hence why everything else was being over ruled.

@francisp thanks for the input. I actually learnt from that.
