How do you organize your HA devices (self.homeassistant)

I have a concoction of devices from all kind of manufacturers with cryptic codes in their names. Each device exposes multitude of sensors which makes the dashboard look like a mess.

Is there a best practice for renaming devices ? Do you name them by their location ? By their utility ? manufacturer ?
How do you identify the devices later in case there's a problem and one needs to be replaced / battery need to be replaced ?

I have monthly problems with nodered. I have transitioned most of my automations away from it.
