It would seem logical to name them for where they are and what they do. “Bathroom motion sensor”, “Bedroom lamp”, etc. However, I’ve found that, if it can move, it ends up moving sooner or later. My “bathroom” motion sensor is now in the upstairs family room, for example.

    I went with <function>_<room>. So like motion_garage, or door_office. The function of the device won’t change, so it seemed logical to have it in that order.

    It’s also not hard to change names of devices in Zigbee2MQTT and propagate that through HA if a device moves.
