Renaming Z-Wave

[moskovskiy82]

Back in the old days it was enough to rename one instance of the entity and the others would pick up.
Now even although i rename the parent zwave.xxxx entity all the other instances sensor.xxxx light.xxxx don’t change their names. So now it’s more labour intensive and you have to rename each and other?

What is the preferred way to rename z-wave entities?

Hello, I’m currently migrating my installation from Domoticz to Home Assistant. There seem to be different ways to assign friendly names to my entities. I started already renaming the nodes in the entity_registry.yaml. Now I’m unsure how to go ahead with the devices. I have 59 z-wave nodes, so I want to do it right first time. What is the preferred way to assign friendly names? Shall I do it in the configuration.yaml, registry.yaml or does the UI offer an option? Thanks
