Don't automatically prefix entity name with circadian_lighting_

[frenck]

Please don't prefix generated entity_id's with circadian_lighting_, this is not how Home Assistant does this in general.

In my case, it screws with my naming schemes. e.g., I use a naming schema <domain>.<area>_<name>

When adhering to my scheme, the switch for my hall would end up being:

switch.circadian_lighting_hall_circadian_lighting 😔

Yes, I plan on making this change. My entities are all the same, with circadian_lighting at the beginning and end. I've only held out because I made the poor choice at the beginning and it would be a breaking change.

If I have enough time to make change #4 then I will definitely make the change then, as that would be equally breaking.

Have you had time to begin working on this change? I just installed Circadian Lighting today and was disappointed that the configuration's name: property worked differently than the rest of Home Assistant's integrations.

Unfortunately not, along with this change I also need to update the integration to add everything to the entity registry to allow for changing the entity_id. Really, though, I want to implement this breaking change along with #4 as that would also greatly enhance functionality, but that's a significant amount of work that I unfortunately don't have time for currently.
