ok thank you, this helped but its not accurate or complete. For future if anyone wants to re-name as I suspect most do, you have to re-name the entity names only in the configuration YAML, spaces appear to work fine and you dont need underscores....after your changes you must restart Home Assistant, just re-loading to YAML doesnt work with this device.
Once re-started, in the GUI where the default names were listed if you placed the entities on a dashboard tab....the entities are no loner available as they had been re-named. If you check in unused entities ( top rights 3 dots when you are in edit mode ) you will see your newly named entities there, just go on and put them in your dashboard and they now survive re-starts.
Hope that is clear.
