## Changing entity name and entity ID
|
||||
|
||||
You can use the UI to change the entity ID and friendly name of supported entities. To do this:
|
||||
After adding a new device, the entity may not have a name and the automatically assigned entity ID might look very technical. If you like, you can use your own naming concept for devices.
|
||||
|
||||
1. Select the {% term entity %}, either from the frontend or by selecting the info button next to the entity in the Developer Tools "States" tab.
|
||||
2. Select the cog icon in the right corner of the entity's dialog
|
||||

|
||||
3. Enter the new name or the new entity ID (remember not to change the domain of the entity - the part before the `.`)
|
||||

|
||||
4. Select *Update*
|
||||
To change the entity ID and friendly name of supported entities, follow these steps:
|
||||
|
||||
If your entity is not supported, or you cannot customize what you need via this method, you need to edit the settings in your [`configuration.yaml` file](/docs/configuration/).For a detailed description of the entity configuration variables, refer to the [Home Assistant Core integration documentation](/integrations/homeassistant/).
|
||||
1. Go to {% my entities title="**Settings** > **Devices & services** > **Entities**" %} and select the entity from the list.
|
||||
2. In the top right corner, select the cog icon.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
3. Enter the new name or the new entity ID.
|
||||
- For example, the entity ID here could be `light.bedroom_ligthstrip`.
|
||||
- Do not change the domain of the entity - the part before the `.`.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
4. Select **Update**.
|
||||
5. If you have used this entity in automations and scripts, you need to rename the entity ID there, too.
|
||||
- Go to {% my automations title="**Settings** > **Automations & Scenes**" %} open the respective tab and find your automation or script.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
If your entity is not supported, or you cannot customize what you need via this method, you need to edit the settings in your [`configuration.yaml` file](/docs/configuration/). For a detailed description of the entity configuration variables, refer to the [Home Assistant Core integration documentation](/integrations/homeassistant/).
