@karwosts I have not yet installed 2024.5 but does this feature also apply to energy sources ? It seems only available for individual devices. |

I was just about to write exactly the same - it'd be great if this functionality was also available for energy sources. They tend to have cryptic names. |

I haven't added to things other than individual devices. Those were kind of the most obvious to start with given how prominent the names are. May consider expanding it to others in the future. |

Alright, thanks for the clarification. It would be great indeed to expand that to others as well, especially for some sources which can not be renamed at all e.g. sources not entity based but from external statistics with the form |

Adding support for energy sources would be fantastic @karwosts |

It would be great if the name of sources selected to be shown/used in the Energy dashboard could be "overwritten" in the form of a "display name". In particular those devices monitored individually.
At the moment the entity name is used.
In my case these names follow a certain scheme to be able to easily tell them apart/sort them in a large installation. But these names are not suited/nice to see on the dashboard. So it'd be great to have the option to provide a "display name" or something in the dashboard settings, when adding a source.
