WTH showing area when selecting entity in Logbook or History

How about show the area when selecting a entity in Logbook or History? Now I have no idea which ceiling light I’m picking. There are ceiling lights in every area, got at least 7 with identical names.

Got to be a 5 min fix :laughing:

I saw one of the core developers was working on this design a couple months back, it’s still in draft PR but hopefully will be continued.

I’m using an overview dashboard that shows things that are currently on. But there are 8 different ceiling lights, one in each room, and they are only differentiated by the area. Using a tile card, it’s very cumbersome to display both the kind of light (e.g., ceiling light) and its area. A simple solution would be to allow displaying the area in the secondary info field (or, allow fixed strings there).

Where the heck are those lights

Would be awesome to have a way to know the area of devices, it forces me to add the area in the device name but then if I move it I’m lost (I had the kitchen light in my living room for a while before I finally decided to change its name…).
