Changing State Names

[thebotanists]

I would like to change the state names e.g. 'job_ongoing' to 'Running' or 'Composting' (as I am using this for my Lomi Composter!). It would be nice if this was supported or addl. details added to the readme to illustrate as such.

Edit the package file for your appliance and at the bottom you will find a translated state sensor you can uncomment.

@Wheemer can you point out where this is exactly? I don't see it

At the bottom of the coffee maker package yaml linked here: https://github.com/leofabri/hassio_appliance-status-monitor/blob/release/v3.0.0-dev/home%20assistant/packages/coffee_maker/asm_coffee_maker.yaml

I have changed mine to below, the names of states can be adjusted to your liking here.

    {%- endmacro -%}
    {{ state_machine_translation(states('input_select.coffee_maker_state_machine')) }}`

I have no idea why the terrible github editor reformats things designated as code. Sorry it looks a mess.

Thank you, I was still looking in the main branch.
