This change adds unique_ids to all entities, ensuring they're registered in the Entity registry. Once they are that, changes made by users will persist across HA restarts. As it is now, I cannot change the sensor name of any sensor made by this integration, as the change would be lost (HA also disallows it for this reason).
For unique id's, I've used the thermostats logical positions within controllers and connections. An example name is controller1_thermostat4. The prefix is used, so it ends up being PREFIXcontroller1_thermostat4_temp for the temperature sensor at controller 2, thermostat 5.
With this change, my entity registry looks like this.
Fixes #3
