Zwave renaming

I have found a ton of history on the forums about people renaming zwave nodes and their entities.

I am having the same problem. Except I can rename them. I just can find where to rename the one that actually matters.

I can rename the root node device and I can rename the entities underneath that, but no matter where I rename it, when I go to select them to use them in automations I still have no way to uniquely identify them.

For example, I have a few zooz motion detectors. I have renamed the roots of all them in the format of:
znode-motion-location

The entities under that, specifically the binary switch and the burglar entity have all been renamed:
motion-location

But when I go into automation and look under triggers, they are all listed by the default device name just as Zooz ZSE 18 Motion Sensor. I’m very early in setting this up so it isn’t that big of a pain, but once I get further in, this will be a major headache…

How do I rename them in a way that they are identifiable when creating automations and using them as triggers?
