I’m in the process of renaming z-wave devices so that I can use the new default z-wave entity ID’s once I upgrade to 0.48+ (currently running 0.47).
I’m confused about how entities can be renamed. I renamed a leviton lamp module. Before, it had a name like light.leviton_unknown_type3501_id0001_level_7_0
, and I decided to rename it to light.map
. (Because it’s located near a map on my wall.)
Once I used the z-wave manager in the home assistant GUI (typed just map
into the second field after selecting the appropriate node and called the service), changed my configuration to use new entity id’s (new_entity_ids: true
) and restarted hass, the entity id’s name now shows as light.map_level
on the entities page.
When I go back to the z-wave management page, it shows the entity id as map (Node:7 Complete)
, but everywhere else shows it as light.map_level
.
Why was _level
appended to the entity id? Is this standard behavior for certain z-wave devices or something?
Thank you!
