StrawberryPigtails,

I may be wrong, but I think best practice says it doesn’t matter how you name your whatevers, so long as the convention you use is consistant. Within HA I tend to use the format <DeviceType>.<Room>.<WhereOrWhat>.<NumberIfRestMatches>.

For example, the plugs that control my space heaters in my livingroom are switch.livingroom.heater.1 and switch.livingroom.heater.2. The controls for the lights in the livingroom is button.livingroom.wall. Please don’t ask why I call plugs switches and controls buttons, I don’t have an answer, I just do. 🤷
