I'll try to keep it simple. Most of my sensors are just reporting temperature and humidity. Since I can assign them to a room in home assistant. They don't need anything fancy.

While there is quite a discussion, names are what works for you. If your design is for someone else, then names that easily documented, while descriptive, are appropriate.

Reminds me of a joke. This woman had 13 children, 6 boys and 7 girls. All the boys' name were Bob, and the girls, Jill. When asked, "Why?", she responded, "At dinner time I only have to call two names." "But what if you want a specific one?" "Oh, then I call them by their last name."

If you give careful thought to your naming system, it will be easier for you to remember. Otherwise you have to review someone else's naming system regularly.
