Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe

When a new TRVZB device is added, many entities are generated. Two of the entity names are like

  1. number.<device_name>_external_temperature_input
  2. number.<device_name>_local_temperature_calibration

However, their friendly names are identical

  1. <Device Name> Temperature
  2. <Device Name> Temperature

This is making it difficult to tell which is which and show/hide as needed in history.

See below how both "Sonoff Bedroom TRV Temperature" have different colours in the tooltip and the chart, but the same colour in the legend.

Describe the solution you'd like

Their friendly names should be different. A solution would be like below so that their friendly names would be closer to their entity names.

  1. "<Device Name> External Temperature Input "
    or this could match how it's written in z2m and be "<Device Name> External Temperature"
Image
  1. "<Device Name> Local Temperature Calibration"

Describe alternatives you've considered

I can try to rename all entities, but it wouldn't be a solution, but a workaround, and all the users would have to repeat the same thing every time they add a new device.

Additional context

I looked for where this name is generated in the code, but couldn't find it. So, I hope this has something to do with z2m and not Sonoff.
