Tankerkönig ugly entity names

Configuration
1

Hi

I use Tankerkönig platform to get and display gas prices. The platform does work as expected but it is very ugly. The main problem is, that I can not set friendly names for the created entities:

2020-03-23_09h45_17

Also, the representation on the map is very ugly:

2020-03-23_09h47_58

Is there a way to set a friendly name? The GUI does not let me change the name? Is it possible to show the fill up stations on the map with an icon like mdi-gas-station for example?

Stay healthy!

Hi, have you tried to change the name in the customization area?

I’ve tried this and it works when you customize the friendly name:

homeassistant:
  customize:
    sensor.tankerkoenig_jet_***_e10:
      friendly_name: Tankstelle Jet

Yes! You guys are right! :smiley:
What I did in customize.yaml:

sensor.tankerkoenig_esso_tankstelle_diesel:
  friendly_name: "Esso Gau-Bickelheim"
  entity_picture: "/local/esso.png"

Now the entities card looks like this:

2020-03-23_17h55_48

And the map looks like this:

2020-03-23_17h56_05

But still it would be nice (and more beginner friendly) if the platform itself had the possibility to set a friendly_name and an entity_picture… :wink:

Have a nice eventing!
