So friendly name shows up, but not unique_id, it’s like binary.sensor_digital_input_01.
This is in configuration.yml. Inputs, etc work, just the entity ID doesn’t show correctly, HA assigned it as binary_sensor.digital_input_1

Thanks (Switches, sensors work)

Unique ID is an internal construct and has nothing to do with the naming… entity_id will be a slugified version of name.

Name: this is my sensor
Unique_id: 12345

sensor.this_is_my_sensor

(in fact I use guids for all my unique id’s.)

What are you expecting?
