v0.1.46 — consistent EV sub-device naming
Consistent naming for the EV (vehicle) sub-device
What changed
The EV sub-device now follows the same naming convention as the inverter / heat pump / meter / wallbox sub-devices shipped in v0.1.44: a translated label as the device name, with manufacturer and model carrying the actual vehicle make and model from the EV profile.
| Field | Before | After |
|---|---|---|
name |
"Volkswagen Id.5" | "Elektrofahrzeug" / "Vehicle" |
manufacturer |
"1KOMMA5°" | "Volkswagen" |
model |
"EV Charger" | "Id.5" |
The previous values were semantically wrong (the wallbox is the charger; 1KOMMA5° is the integration vendor, not the car maker) and visually inconsistent with the other sub-devices.
What you need to do
Nothing for most users — entity_ids, unique_ids, long-term statistics, automations and Energy-Dashboard config all stay intact. The cosmetic change shows up in Settings → Devices & Services → 1KOMMA5° after the upgrade.
Caveat: Home Assistant's device-registry merge is conservative — on existing installs a plain HA restart sometimes leaves the old name in place. If after upgrading the EV device still shows "Volkswagen Id.5" (or your specific vehicle), disable + re-enable the integration once:
Settings → Devices & Services → 1KOMMA5° → ⋮ menu → Disable → wait a moment → Enable
Fresh installs and new EV-profile additions are unaffected.
