Are there any recommended best practices?

I’m doing a fresh setup on a new system and want to use this opportunity to organise things better. Previously it was quite a mess 😅

Some loose thoughts:

  • I don’t really want to use the brand, so I could replace devices
  • Not all devices have a fixed place (e.g. the phone), so using the room in the name might not be a nice solution, or I could use “portable” instead for those

    I’m going to second this. I have things labeled like 1F_Kitchen_Counter.

    When searching for entities in automations it’s easy to type 1F_Kitchen and see all the entities associated with the room.
