## Adjust the device names on the energy dashboard
Another outstanding quality-of-life improvement from @karwosts is the ability to
customize the display name for energy devices on the energy dashboard.
The entity's name representing the device you use on the energy dashboard
commonly contains additional or redundant information. With this new feature,
you can customize the display name to make it more meaningful.
So, if, for example, the entity is named _“Garage Washing Machine Energy Total”_
and is shown as that today, you can now change the name displayed on the energy
dashboard to just _“Washing Machine”_.
**TODO: Insert screenshot**
You can adjust the name of each monitored device in the energy dashboard setting
page by going to **Settings** > **Dashboards** > **Energy** > **Individual devices**.
