Organize? Hahaha ohmygod best laugh I've had in a few days.
Some devices have the generic names from the manufacturer because I had issues and had to re-join them a few times, so I got tired of typing the "correct" names. Also I have a light switch labeled "front porch" which is really inaccurate because I'm not turning the porch on and off, it's the lights! And those lights are now zigbee bulbs of their own, but they at least got more sensible names ("porch light doorbell side" and "porch light right side").
But I may switch to zigbee2mqtt, so I'll have a chance to redo all of it anyway.
In general I don't have so many devices that knowing what is what isn't a major issue. I name them better in Lovelace, of course.
