Proposed change
When an Apple TV is paired an entry is created under Settings -> Remotes and Devices -> Remote App and Devices of the device. Previously the name of this entry was "Living Room" for paired Companion protocol and "Unknown" for AirPlay, which is a bit confusing. A change I made to
pyatv
(postlund/pyatv#1908) allows customizing this device name, and since this dependency was recently included in Home Assistant (#93172) the paired devices will now use the default "pyatv" name.This PR sets the paired name to "Home Assistant" to make it super clear what is paired. This will not change existing pairings.
