Unable to edit friendly name of my sensors

I’m unable to edit the friendly name of my sensors in zigbee2mqtt. Just have setup a new installation and on my previous installation I don’t recall this issue. I have also tried removing the sensor from home-assistant, hoping I was able to edit then.

you should give us the error log . and you maybe, should use the zigbee2mqtt frontend.

How did you try to change them ?

I’m using z2m as hassio addon and installed it using the repository. There I’m going to the sensor setting and want to adjust the friendly name there, which is a greyed out text field. Error logs are empty.

You can’t rename on that screen. You have to do it on the ‘devices’ screen. The blue button.

Owkey. Totally overlooked this. :see_no_evil::see_no_evil::see_no_evil:

So i was able to do this for all of my devices except my newest one, the blue button no longer shows up for any device

It is a bug that will be fixed in the next version

For reference:

On iOS the blue button doesn’t show up in portrait mode either. Flipping the phone on it’s side to landscape makes it show up (at least on iOS).
