I have a concoction of devices from all kind of manufacturers with cryptic codes in their names. Each device exposes multitude of sensors which makes the dashboard look like a mess.

  1. Is there a best practice for renaming devices ? Do you name them by their location ? By their utility ? manufacturer ?
  2. How do you identify the devices later in case there’s a problem and one needs to be replaced / battery need to be replaced ?

    So I don’t think HASS really names them, I think they have a default/preset name on themselves, like “TZ3000_2”
