Set Friendly Name as ESPresence status on tracking sensors

I have been able to successfully add room presence using ESPresence. I have enrolled several devices using their method and I’m tracking the location of those sensor devices in Home Assistant. I’m trying to find the correct manner in which I can use a friendly room name as the status of the sensor rather than the name (room) of the ESPresence device.

Here is what the status looks like in my dashboard currently:

I would like the status of primary_bedroom to be displayed as ‘Primary Bedroom’. I’m new to all of this and still getting my head wrapped around how all of these various parts work together. Thank you in advance for pointing me in the right direction.

You cant edit name in card?

This is a entity card that shows the entity on the left side and pulls in the latest ‘status’ on the right. As I understand it, the ESPresence device has a room name of ‘Primary Bedroom’ that Home Assistant converts into a status of ‘primary_bedroom’ when the device is close to the ESPresence device. In this case, David’s iPhone. So the David’s iPhone sensor gets the status from the ESPresence device to know what to display in the dashboard. The right hand value changes as the devices moves around our home and by the 15 various ESPresence devices we have. It’s a dynamic value, not a static one.

Ok, I have a few esphome devices but as I know you can rename any entity to any name you want. Just open entity and configure it.

That’s correct. Unfortunately it’s not using the entity name as the ‘status’ on the sensor device. It is using a ‘room’ value in the ESPresence setup data.

The room value in the ESPresence setup is being passed to the sensor device as it’s ‘status’. You give me an idea - perhaps I can put quotes around the name?

I don’t know. All my esp home devices are made by me. I don’t have any gui to set it up. I use yaml.
