Problem with entity names

[7wells]

Hi Fabian!

I just received the below warning in the latest Home Assistant version and Batmon v0.0.67. The warning is in German*, and I used Google for a translation to English:

# Discovered entities with a name that starts with the device name

**This no longer works in version 2024.2.0.  Please fix this before upgrading**

Some MQTT entities have an entity name that starts with the device name. This is not to be expected. To avoid a duplicate name, the prefix of the device name is removed from the entity name as a workaround.  Please inform the maintainer of the software application providing the affected entities to resolve this issue.

List of affected entities:

sensor.rv_battery_cell_voltages_min
sensor.rv_battery_cell_voltages_1
binary_sensor.rv_battery_charge_switch
sensor.rv_battery_cell_voltages_min_index
sensor.rv_battery_soc
sensor.rv_battery_total_energy_charge_meter
sensor.rv_battery_cell_voltages_4
sensor.rv_battery_temperatures_2
sensor.rv_battery_power
switch.rv_battery_charge
sensor.rv_battery_cell_voltages_average
sensor.rv_battery_total_energy_discharge_meter
binary_sensor.rv_battery_discharge_switch
sensor.rv_battery_charge
sensor.rv_battery_cell_voltages_2
sensor.rv_battery_capacity
sensor.rv_battery_temperatures_1
sensor.rv_battery_cell_voltages_3
sensor.rv_battery_total_energy_meter
sensor.rv_battery_current
sensor.rv_battery_voltage
sensor.rv_battery_num_cycles
switch.rv_battery_discharge
sensor.rv_battery_cell_voltages_max
sensor.rv_battery_total_cycles_meter
sensor.rv_battery_total_charge_meter
sensor.rv_battery_cell_voltages_median
sensor.rv_battery_cell_voltages_delta
sensor.rv_battery_cell_voltages_max_index

I am unsure whether I should have addressed this here or elsewhere, so please accept my apologies if it does not belong here.

If it does, what can you or us do about it?

Thanks a lot for your really great Batmon addon! ❤️

*In German:

# Erkannte Entitäten mit einem Namen, der mit dem Gerätenamen beginnt

**Dies funktioniert nicht mehr in Version 2024.2.0. Bitte behebe dies vor dem Upgrade.**

Einige MQTT-Entitäten haben einen Entitätsnamen, der mit dem Gerätenamen beginnt. Dies ist nicht zu erwarten. Um einen doppelten Namen zu vermeiden, wird als Work-Around das Präfix des Gerätenamens aus dem Entitätsnamen entfernt. Bitte informiere den Betreuer der Softwareanwendung, die die betroffenen Entitäten bereitstellt, um dieses Problem zu beheben.

Thanks, I'll fix that with the next release

Thank you so much - no warning anymore. 😊👍
