Services

The component exposes a set_attribute service. It sets (or clears) persistent attribute of an entity overriding any value set in code. Like specifying it in homeassistant -> customize YAML section.

Note that calling homeassistant.reload_core_config service or changing customization via Config panel will reset overrides to their yaml state.

Service fields:

name	description	example
entity_id	Entity ID to set the attribute on	light.patio
attribute	Name of the attribute to set	friendly_name
value	(Optional) Value to set. Leave unspecified in order to clear set value. Note that when clearing attribute it will be empty (and not set-by-code) until next entity update	My light'

For example you can call:

customizer.set_attribute({"entity_id": "light.patio", "attribute": "friendly_name", "value": "My Light"}) to change the light name
