Way to obtain and use zone names
Hi, I am happily using this integration for my Visonic pro. Thank you for making it and sharing.
One question I had is if it's possible to fetch the zone names from visonic and use that to name the sensors in home assistant?
Also, once I have manually named them in home assistant but looks like that got overwritten on reload.
Thanks Amit
Hi, I've noticed that as well, I'm not sure yet if it's my integration or a change in Home Assistant. While I investigate you can still use the "old way" of doing this by putting this in your configuration.yaml
homeassistant:
customize:
# Add an entry for each entity that you want to overwrite.
binary_sensor.visonic_z01:
friendly_name: Wibble
binary_sensor.visonic_z02:
friendly_name: Wobble
Thanks
EDIT: If you also show the "select" entities in the frontend or you want to rename them then you can like this
homeassistant:
customize:
# Add an entry for each entity that you want to overwrite.
binary_sensor.visonic_z01:
friendly_name: Wibble
binary_sensor.visonic_z02:
friendly_name: Wobble
select.visonic_z02:
friendly_name: Wobble
