I have a lot of xiaomi sensors and switches. In release 0.83 there are breaking changes regarding xiaomi devices.
- Prefix all xiaomi_aqara events with “xiaomi_aqara”. Please update your automations:
motion -> xiaomi_aqara.motion
,click -> xiaomi_aqara.click
,cube_action -> xiaomi_aqara.cube_action
(@syssi - #17354) (binary_sensor.xiaomi_aqara docs) (breaking change)
So I hope I don’t need to rename entities but only the events.
Anyway: The name of entities is “strange” and hard to remember but the friendly_name can be changed in the UI, and I changed them in the UI. But where are these friendly names stored by default? They are not in any of the files I can access in the configuration folder. Or are they? Where?
I have read there are https://www.home-assistant.io/docs/configuration/customizing-devices/ but my question is not how to use this way. My question is: where are the friendly names stored by default and how can I extract them from there and manipulate them?
