Describe the issue you are experiencing
Entity ID can be easily obtained / modified to a friendly name via the Entities Page and making the Entity ID column visible. The same type of capability is missing from Device ID.

There should be a Device ID column option under Devices list.

Should be intuitive.

Additional information
Devices fail and get replaced. Currently, automations when created using the UI reference the raw device ID and raw entity ID. You can also use a friendly entity ID and this is exposed via the UI when either a) viewing the column under Entities or b) viewing the settings for the Entity. There is NO easy way to find (or change) the device ID. So, to fix an automation, you have to grep / view underlying configs (core.entity_registry) instead of just copy/pasting the IDs from the UI.
It would also be VERY helpful to show the Device ID when looking at the settings for a Device!
