Allow easier definition and update of devices

I am using ArduinoHA with 40+ sensors. My attempt to streamline definition and use of HASensor and HASensorNumber by using vectors screws the functionality of the lib. Is there a way to make the ArduinoHA project work unsing vectors or anotherway to streamline definition and processing insead of writing every single line of code as in the samples?

  WiFiClient wClient;
  HADevice haDevice;
  HAMqtt mqtt(wClient, haDevice, 48);

  std::vector<HASensor*> sName;
  std::vector<HASensorNumber*> sTime;
  std::vector<HASensorNumber*> sSoil;
  std::vector<HASensorNumber*> sVolt;
  std::vector<HASensorNumber*> sBatt;
  std::vector<HASensorNumber*> `sTemp;

void setup(){

   for (int i = 1; i <= 8; i++) {

        sName.push_back( new HASensor(("Sensor" + std::to_string(i)).c_str()));
        sTime.push_back( new HASensorNumber(("Time" + std::to_string(i)).c_str()));
        sSoil.push_back( new HASensorNumber(("Soil" + std::to_string(i)).c_str()));
        sVolt.push_back( new HASensorNumber(("Volt" + std::to_string(i)).c_str()));
        sBatt.push_back( new HASensorNumber(("Batt" + std::to_string(i)).c_str()));
        sTemp.push_back( new HASensorNumber(("Temp" + std::to_string(i)).c_str()));
    }
}

//Init sensors
void initmqtt(){

    byte mac[WL_MAC_ADDR_LENGTH];
    WiFi.macAddress(mac);
    haDevice.setUniqueId(mac, sizeof(mac));

    haDevice.setName("Irrigation Controller");
    haDevice.setSoftwareVersion(FIRMWARE_VERSION);
    haDevice.setManufacturer("CS");
    haDevice.setModel("ESP32");
    haDevice.setAvailability(true);

    haDevice.enableSharedAvailability();
    haDevice.enableLastWill();

    mqtt.onMessage(onMqttMessage);
    mqtt.onConnected(onMqttConnected);
    mqtt.setDiscoveryPrefix("ESP_Irrigation");
    mqtt.setDataPrefix("SoilSensors");

  for (int i = 0; i < 8; i++ ){

    String cn = "S" + String(i+1);

    sName[i]->setIcon("mdi:home");
    sName[i]->setName( (cn + "_Name").c_str() );  

    sTime[i]->setIcon("mdi:clock-time-eight-outline");
    sTime[i]->setName( (cn + "_Time").c_str()  );
    sTime[i]->setUnitOfMeasurement("");

    sSoil[i]->setIcon("mdi:water-percent");
    sSoil[i]->setName((cn + "_Soil_Hum").c_str());
    sSoil[i]->setUnitOfMeasurement("%");

    sTemp[i]->setIcon("mdi:thermometer");
    sTemp[i]->setName((cn + "_Amb_Temp").c_str());
    sTemp[i]->setUnitOfMeasurement("°C");

    sVolt[i]->setIcon("mdi:battery-50");
    sVolt[i]->setName((cn + "_Batt").c_str() );
    sVolt[i]->setUnitOfMeasurement("%");

  }

  for (int i = 1; i <= 8; i++){
    updatemqtt(i);
  }
  mqtt.begin("192.168.1.227", 1883 , "mqtt-user", "mqtt-user#");
} 

//update Sensors
void updatemqtt(int sensor){
Serial.println("HA Sensor " + String(sensor) + " update");
    sName[sensor-1]->setValue( SensorNames[sensor-1].c_str()); 
    sTime[sensor-1]->setValue( SoilSensorData[sensor-1].nEpoche , true );
    sSoil[sensor-1]->setValue( SoilSensorData[sensor-1].soilHum, true );  
    sTemp[sensor-1]->setValue( SoilSensorData[sensor-1].ambTemp, true );
    sVolt[sensor-1]->setValue( SoilSensorData[sensor-1].batVolt, true );
}

void loop() {
    mqtt.loop();
}
