Ok, how do I start here? I just do some sum up 
- entity names are created with weird strange names.
e.g.: binary_sensor.door_window_detector_sensor_5 and 6 and 7 - “friendly names” can be overridden, but this is only for the “lovelace view”
When using entities in automation, yaml, node red I always have to FRIKKIN lookup the weird names. - Why is is so hard to change the “attributes” of a sensor.
e.g. I have a door sensor (zwave) and I do use it as another type of sensor - in the end it’s just open/close. And I want it to be “in bed - out of bed”. So hard! - Why is the customization section in configuration just a FRIKKIN long list and not searchable and again! just the “weird” names.
- I know I can change entity names, but it tend to easily break when an integration “decides” else and If I go that route I have to do a lot of troubleshooting.
Currently me ending up with multiple homeassistant tab (>4!) running simultaneously almost all the time!
Why can’t the friendly name also be used in automation/node-red?
