Zwave device list management, much love needed

I’m kind of shocked that device lists in general haven’t gotten any love in a long time. My main gripe is around dealing with filtered devices such as zwave.

  1. There is no way to customize columns. I want to see node status (is it dead, not available etc).
  2. I want to see the node id
  3. I want to export the node id and node names. Every so often a node loses all entity information and I have to go back to an excel sheet to figure out which one is what. Would be great if there was some kind of history around a node id that could suggest a name or alert that it got reset and help set it back up.
  4. Use device filter when clicking tabs from devices to entities. I want to see my zwave devices and entities in a single click.

Yep, one of my main gripes with the device list. There should be an column that is integration dependent that shows information about that device. For zwave it would be node ID and the status of the node. Possibly status first and node second. Or have them as separate fields.
