Adding inverter doesn't add inverter name to entity ID

[thibaultmol]

The problem

I'm guessing this was done on purpose since most people only have one inverter.

But it's a problem for people like me who have 3 inverters. If I add three. Then I would like to rename the device (and then it's Entitiy id's) to say INVERTER1, INVERTER2, INVERTER3. But I can't use the auto rename of the entity id's because the device name isn't in the entity id when you first add the device to HA.

@thibaultmol To be honest, I do not understand the problem. What are you suggesting the integration should do ?

Same problem with my installation

@thibaultmol To be honest, I do not understand the problem. What are you suggesting the integration should do ?

The Integration creates entity ids without the inverters name as prefix. For example it creates an entity with the id sensor.load or sensor.warning_code this is of course not very meaningful. Better would be an id like sensor.goodwe_load order sensor.goodwe_warning_code

Since the integration creates over 140 entities, it is very time-consuming to rename them all by hand

I think the integration should create devices/entity's with unique names. Currently i think it creates devices using a standard name. which means if you add more than one inverter it starts creating names that are harder to rename
