Overwrite HA default friendly_name generation

Finally I have found the root cause why with HA 2026.2 the entities include the device name by default as prefix in the new dashboards (which IMHO makes them almost unusable). So with this update the integration will only add the device name, if you have specified a custom name for the device (this name can be deleted btw).

Unfortunately for the entities marked as favourites, HA still ignore the friendly_name attribute and is using some other code, to add the device name in front of the entity name.

Please consider supporting me

Thanks to those who have already supported me in the past weeks or month that is highly appreciated! To the other users: I am putting quite an amount of energy and passion into this integration. Perhaps you could give yourself a little push (if you can afford it) and become a sponsor.
