Proposal

Device area in notifications would be useful.

Additional info

Example notification: Alarmo is triggered. Window in bedroom is open.

Not everyone (including myself) uses areas in HA so it would be difficult to make a generic implementation for this.
Wouldn't it be better to rename the entity to 'bedroom window sensor' such that you can identify it by its name?

Including the area in the name is of course a solution, but I felt like the inclusion of area could still be elegant. An example of how it could work:

The alarm is triggered! Cause: {{open_sensors}} in {{area}} is {{condition}}.
The alarm is triggered! Cause: window in bedroom is open.

Another solution could be an option to include the type of sensor and area, this would allow you to name sensor whatever you want, but still allowing for very clearly presented information. Example:
The alarm is triggered! Cause: {{sensor type}} in {{area}} is {{condition}}.
The alarm is triggered! Cause: smoke detector in kitchen is detecting smoke.
