Different sensor names on languages other than English about transmission-card HOT 3 CLOSED

Thanks for your information. The custom card does not expect English names, however by default uses the English name the Transmission component originally generated.
As HA evolved and introduced generating entity names localized, the generated names became different from the default English name. The sensor_entity_id was meant to solve this issue. The readme of the card describes that the default sensor_entity_id is transmission. So if your instance is localized and HA or the component generates entity names accordingly then you'll have to use the sensor_entity_id.
I'll review the readme and clarify if needed.

Hi,

Sorry to bump this issue but I just hit this... and I don't think it was solved.

I had a look at the sensor_entity_id but if I've understood it well, it doesn't solve the problem as it is related to the suffix rather than the sensor name.

Looking into the code, for example at this line:

let download_speed = `sensor.${this.config.sensor_entity_id}_download_speed`;

doesn't solve this as my sensor (in spanish) is called sensor.transmission_velocidad_de_descarga instead of sensor.transmission_download_speed. The main "name" is the same, transmission but the suffix is the piece that changes.

As I possible solution I only see adding the fields to specify each sensor manually.

PS: the solution I'm using right now is renaming entities IDs to match the ones in english.

@luixal, the solution that worked for me also was change all the sensor names for the English ones. It's the easiest workaround until a more elegant solution comes up.
