Basic Question: What is a device_id?

$

I must have missed something but what is a device_id and how is it different in function from an entity_id?

Is it something just to do with the UI - I only use YAML?

The Templating docs have this

  • device_id(entity_id) returns the device ID for a given entity ID or device name. Can also be used as a filter.

So I am assuming there is some use to us (rather than the system) in knowing what it is?

Again, sorry for such a fundamental question…
