Fixes the breaking change introduced in HomeAssistant 2023.8.0. The changes should not affect any existing user, and only alter the default friendly names generated for entities.
Proposed change
Generally removes the
device_name
as a prefix inentity name
. For devices with only one entity, or for entities that provide the primary purpose of the device, the name is set to "" which causes HomeAssistant to use thedevice_name
as theentity_name
. For all other entities, HomeAssistant will automatically prepend thedevice_name
to theentity_name
.Additional information

Change in MQTT Naming, and
Forum Discussion
Checklist
I already have this code running on my instance. I am waiting until later in August to merge into master as I will have more time then to deal with issues if they arise.
