Sensor result as entity name - to specify which day of week is day 2, day3 etc

If I understand @Didgeridrew correctly, you should rename the entity id in the UI and the name would change tomorrow, but the entity id won’t. So you could rename the entity to pirateclouds_2d.

OK, I think I’m almost there…

Where do I find this bit where I can change the entity ID in the UI?

I got this, but that doesn’t seem to be what you got…

Navigate to the entity in the State tab of Developer Tools and click the “More info” link:

OR in the Entities list / using the hotkey “e”… find your entity and click on it…

Then click the Settings gear from the Entity Info popup:

This will open the Entity settings popup menu:

Edit the entity ID and click “Update”.

Thank you so much for taking all this time to walk me through this.

I’ll try to pay it forward when I see a future noob struggling as I am today.

ETA: final product

Thanks again!
