Non-persistent entity IDs in Home Assistant

[bcutter]

Describe the bug I noticed that OMG always defaults its entity IDs. Custom set ones are ignored once entity ids are re-created.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Disable BT: Adaptive scan switch, new entities are created: number.bt_interval_between_active_scans and number.bt_interval_between_scans
2. Rename those entities to e. g. number.esp_omg_kitchen_bt_interval_between_active_scans and number.esp_omg_kitchen_bt_interval_between_scans
3. Enable BT: Adaptive scan switch, both interval number entities are removed
4. Disable BT: Adaptive scan switch:

Expected behavior created interval number entities are restored as configured (number.esp_omg_kitchen_bt_interval_between_active_scans and number.esp_omg_kitchen_bt_interval_between_scans)

Actual behaviour: created interval number entities default and ignore their previous names/IDs (number.bt_interval_between_active_scans and number.bt_interval_between_scans)

Environment (please complete the following information):

• OpenMQTTGateway version used: v1.6.0 / development a046c8

Additional context

• This obviously creates problems as entity ids are sensitive in HA. Imagine you have more than one OMG integrated - they sum up with _2 etc.
• How can we get persistent entity IDs here?
