This change ensures that the self-generated entity_id is a valid HA Entity ID, while keeping the name in a human readable format. The validation is done via tests using valid_entity_id() HA core function and is not validated at runtime (there is no reasons to do that live).
Even if the integration was working properly, entities were not respecting the official entity_id format: <domain>.<entity_id>. With this change, domain is included in the Entity ID even though it is remove by HA for unclear reasons. This behavior is described in the official documentation: https://www.home-assistant.io/faq/unique_id/#can-be-changed
