Friendly names ? #6

Hi,

first many thanks for providing the yaml configuration. It helped a lot to get the data from my Lambda-wp.

A question though (I'm pretty newbie with Home Automation) with your config, I don't get the friendly names as shown in your screenshot. Can I ask how did you manage to have them ?

thanks.

Hi there, GUI-Editor

friendly names are set via the GUI, please see the red box of the entity editor.

Good luck!

hum, I cannot do that with the modbus sensor image

With other sensors, it is possible :-/

Sorry, I was not fully clear: in the HA GUI you first add a card, to the card you add one or more entity and then you can edit the name- As an example my card for temperatures:

Temperatures

Clicking "Edit" (German: Bearbeiten) you see the added entities:

editCard

Then you can edit every entity and set the friendly name (field "Name" which is empty by default): entity
