SOLVED: Evcc and selecting vehicles

Configuration
1

Hi everyone,

I use evcc and most of it is self explanatory.

During migration of the yaml into the UI I recognized that in yaml there is a name to identify the vehicle.
This is not the case in the UI.
However, if I want to select the vehicle in the UI I can do this using the title.

When I try to select the vehicle with the evcc entity select.evcc_garage_vehicle_name it’s not working because there is no name assigned using the UI to create the vehicle.

Is there any way to use the UI and still be able to select the vehicle using the select entity above?

Thanks

No one with a suggestion? :cry:

Is select.evcc_garage_vehicle_name an entity that was created from the integration? OR did you create it as a helper? If it’s the latter, the entity should be input_select.evcc_garage_vehicle_name. If it was created by the integration, then you will need to give it a unique_id in the yaml configuration of it, if possible, which will allow you to edit it more in the UI.

Best Practice - The unique_id you give it (if you can) is just the name of it, all lowercase letters, with _ (underscores) for any spaces.

Thank you @mmstano
the entity was created by the integration.

The problem was on the drop down I needed to select db:16 for my Fiat 500e and db:16 for my Ioniq 5.

However, after a restart die db entries were properly translated to the vehicle names.
Maybe the HA UI had a hiccup!?
Thanks for your help again.
