[Feature Request] Optional changing name parts of entities and adding prefix to panels. #66

Currently in HA I see e.g. Lifetime_enegry_1.1.1 Usually HA skips the name part the directly identify the device.

So when the entity name is sensor.1_1_1_lifetime_energy then only lifetime_energy will be shown as entity name as the device name is 1_1_1.

Also a device name prefix would be nice. Instead of a device name 1_1_1 having a device name solar_panel_1_1_1 or something in the device entity that HA supports to group the panels would be nice.

im not sure if i follow you. but changing names can be done in HA it self? Just provide a display name and then that one wil be shown. Or do you mean something else?
