Phone device rename and notify

Hi all,

By default when I added my phones to HA they were named by the model name. I changed them to give a name I can maintain if one day I change phone so that I don’t break all automations.

When I changed the phones names all entities were correctly renamed, BUT all automations that use the “notify.” still need the old name to work.

Imagine my phone name was noka3310 and I changed it to potato. All entities now use potato, but if I want notify. to work I need to use notify.mobile_app_nokia3310.

How can I change this behaviour?

Thank you!

Solved: need to change the device name in the companion app settings as well!
