Description
Add a new service to update an entity's Entity ID.
Motivation and Context
I run a rather large and sprawling Home Assistant instance. Sometimes I add an integration that creates 20+ entities. I don't like the way HA automatically builds the entity_id for new devices/entites and so have to manually go and rename them. The idea behind this is that, instead of having to manually rename every entity, or shutdown home assistant and mess with the entity_registry file in
.storage
I can do a bunch of service calls and get the result I want.How has this been tested?
Used on my own instance to rename entities. Service call was simple enough
