How can I view a list of entity IDs ? | Home Assistant | Page 1

When I go to Settings / Devices / Entities, I see a long list, but the "Entity" column shows a friendly name, and not the entity ID itself.

I could have sworn it used to be possible to see entity IDs in the list in the past, but can't figure out how now.

The reason I want to do this is that some Z-wave switches I added with ZUI got default entity names starting with s2_on_off that I don't want to use. I would like to figure out which entity names to rename.

Hit the button on the far right that looks like a window pane and select "Entity ID"

thank you. I would never have guessed

#

to me, something greyed out conveyed that this was not possible to enable. A better UI would be something without greying out, but with a checkbox. For example, what the Unifi controller does.
