Question

Display fiendly names instead of entity ids in menu.

Closed this issue 3 years ago · 2 comments

I have only entity IDs in list of togglables and can't figure out if it is possible to get friendly name like "Kitchen light" instead of entity ID (sonoff.switch_1000abcde) in the list of togglable items. If not, is it possible to add such option in future releases? Thanks.

Thanks for opening the issue! This should have been fixed in commit #9. Which version of the extension do you have? If your version is above 1.3 then you should see the friendly names instead of the entity ids.

It seems like you are using gnome 3.36 (according to your other issue #21). As I commented there, this has been fixed for Gnome 40 and I personally don't plan to make the corresponding changes for Gnome <=3.38. I will close this for now, but this can be re-opened if anyone wants to fix this.
