Changing the entity ID
You can use the UI to change the entity ID and friendly name of supported entities. To do this:
- Select the {% term entity %}, either from the frontend or by selecting the info button next to the entity in the Developer Tools "States" tab.
- Select the cog icon in the right corner of the entity's dialog
- Enter the new name or the new entity ID (remember not to change the domain of the entity - the part before the
.)
- Select Update
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.For a detailed description of the entity configuration variables, refer to the Home Assistant Core integration documentation.
