WTH can’t I bulk rename entities

Month of "What the heck?!"

This has improved recently. But it’s still a pain. Sometimes entities will end up having their names changed, or they get unexpected names, and don’t match the device name. Further I’ve had a number of instances where I end up with entities like sensor.blah_temperature_2.

It would be nice if there were a way to easily fix names.

Easiest would be a “Reset Entity Names” option maybe that could ask for the device name and then reset all of its entities using that name as the base.

definitely! Another use case: most integrations will use sensor.blah_battery but some might localise and use sensor.blah_batterie (German).

Now listing all battery sensors in a template card gets tricky and renaming 20+ sensors in either way is a huge pain.

Had a similar experience with an integration using sensor.energy_totalor something like that, while others use sensor.energy.
