Sensor name doesn't act as expected and renaming creates orphans

I am using the precip_probability monitored condition and my app is up-to-date.

The name of the sensor that gets created ends up as a concatenated string of ‘Name’ and sensor type (I think) instead of using just the ‘Name’.

I set the sensor name to Zebra in my sensors.yaml file:

- platform: pirateweather
  name: Zebra
  api_key: 6mwfdaJRNy39nrnNIUXwXhUV7FxSmbZ8HSW9m253
  scan_interval: "00:05:00"
  monitored_conditions:
    - precip_probability

You can see in this screenshot, the newest sensor with ‘Zebra’ in the name contains more than just Zebra. Further, renaming the sensor in the config leads to some duplicate orphan sensors: List of random sensors

Not sure what other info will be useful or what troubleshooting I can do. Thanks!

Thanks for the update! Since it seems to have resolved itself, I’m going to close this issue for now; however, feel free to re-open or create a new issue if anything else comes up!

Just wanted to follow up and say that the other random sensors seem to have taken care of themselves.
