Same device on different cards would need different label

Configuration Frontend
1

I have an office and a bedroom on groundfloor and first floor and both in the attic - cards I have are:

Office
  Main
  Attic

and

Bedrooms
  master
  child1
  child2
  Attic

but for the attic I don’t want a card looking like:

Attic
  Attic
  Attic

as I wouldn’t know what is what besides the fact that it looks very odd.

I’ve seen https://www.home-assistant.io/lovelace/entities/#options-for-entities but can’t work out what it is. The GUI editor keeps complaining about what I do.

type: entities
id: tp_zolder
title: Zolder
show_header_toggle: true
entities:
  - switch.wenzhou_tkb_control_system_tz56_wall_switch_onoff_switch
  - switch.wenzhou_tkb_control_system_tz56_wall_switch_onoff_switch2
  - light.level

Where-ever I try to put in name: it keeps complaining.

Suggestions welcome!

Thx

Moved to config - frontend rather than show off your projects - frontend

So rename the devices. There are about 3 examples in the documentation you linked below the section you are looking at https://www.home-assistant.io/lovelace/entities/

Copied directly from documentation:

- type: entities
  title: Entities card sample
  show_header_toggle: true
  entities:
    - entity: alarm_control_panel.alarm
      name: Alarm Panel
    - device_tracker.demo_paulus
    - switch.decorative_lights
    - group.all_lights
    - group.all_locks

applied to your yaml:

- type: entities
  id: tp_zolder
  title: Zolder
  show_header_toggle: true
  entities:
    - entity: switch.wenzhou_tkb_control_system_tz56_wall_switch_onoff_switch
      name: Blah
    - entity: switch.wenzhou_tkb_control_system_tz56_wall_switch_onoff_switch2
      name: Blah 2
    - entity: light.level
      name: Blah 3

That is what I thought as well, but then I was reading too fast. I missed using keyword entity though was puzzled when the documentation said “if you make it an object” and I had no idea what that meant.

Thx - I totally missed that!

The - indicates the start of the object and at that point it expects keywords for every item until the next -. That’s how yaml works for defining objects with attributes. Example: you have 2 apples that you want to place in a bag. Each apple has a unique color and stem length. In yaml:

apples:
    - color: yellow
      length: 1
    - color: blue
      length: 5
