#How in the world do you rename a device in ZHA?

I'm stumped. I ijust added a device in ZHA and made the mistake of not changing the name during provisioning. Now the name field is readonly and I'm stuck with a cryptic name I can't change. I must be missing where to do this, anyone know?

#

Just noticed I can click on another device (same make and model) and can change the name. I don't get it

#

When adding a device I can change the name, then after it's added I can still change it. It seems if you don't change it when it's initially added, then you're stuck.

yea that's something I've been curious about myself especially when the theoretical or initially presumed/intended naming pattern or system often turns out to be not "ideal" or simply changes due to circumstances or improvements. or maybe just a simple mistake.

also at this very "intersection" myself. haven't even dared to try and rename zha devices as I'm worried it might seriously mess things up in terms of zigbee network or existing implementations.

would be awesome to hear about best practices or possibility and implications of renaming, correcting existing zha devices.
