#Sensor/Entity names prefixed with device name.

As you can see in the screenshot all sensor names prefixed with the (old) device name "Galaxy Watch4 (YYLX)". This only happens on the galaxy watch device and not the android or iphone. Also the device has been renamed too "Electric Watch" if that's relevant.

the watch does not have teh ability to rename entities, it will take the name given during onboarding when you set the device name. you would need to setup the watch again to get new entities to match the updated name

if that did not work then starting fresh with the watch may the only solution unless the reset button in the entity config screen works

deep falcon
#

I don't see no button

jaunty lodge
#

edit any of those entities

#

next to the ID is a reset button

#

first icon next to the ID

deep falcon
#

I don't need that

#

I just need it like this

#

not like this

#

idc about the entity id, I just care about the visual name

#

and I don't want to rename all because I'm too lazy

jaunty lodge
#

then follow the start fresh steps and provide the name you wish and that will apply to both

deep falcon
jaunty lodge
#

those are really your only options

#

rename them all or reconfigure teh watch

#

probably a rename that did not change the entity IDs?

#

mine which has the same name looks like this

deep falcon
#

ugh why does it do that

jaunty lodge
#

try to rename the device name again and hit yes to the entity ID pop-up? that pop-up shold trigger the update

deep falcon
#

do you mean that pen?

jaunty lodge
#

no the other screen

#

where all the entitis are listed

#

its in the header top right

deep falcon
#

there ain't no pop up

#

I no changed the name to smt else and then back and now it's like this

#

even weirder

deep falcon
#

it seems that after loging out and in and changing some settings, after some time it corrected itself
