ESPHome Addon

1. Select the ESPHome Builder in the sidebar then click "EDIT" on the device you want to rename.

This is code and requires you to follow the directions carefully.

Editing the YAML here means even a space matters. Follow the guide just as shown and ask questions if you need help!

2. Change the "name" to "kitchen-mmwave-sensor" or similar. Do not use any spaces or caps here, only numbers, letters, and hypens. This will be your new hostname i.e. kitchen-mmwave-sensor.local.

3. Change the "friendly_name" to "Kitchen mmWave Sensor" or similar. This will be the name used in Home Assistant for your Device and your entities unless you override it in the ESPHome Integration.

4. Click "SAVE" then "INSTALL" in the top right.
