More friendly entity IDs in Home Assistant #56

Closed drinfernoo closed 2 years ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. When a sensor is paired to the bridge, the entities that get published for discovery are added to HA with an entity ID, something like binary_sensor.wyzesense_abcdefgh. It would be nice if they could be added to match the name of the sensor as defined in sensors.yaml.

@drinfernoo Hey I think this was kind of talked about here. I think he preferred to keep the sensors physical naming for the topic as opposed to the semantic naming. His reasoning if in that post I linked. I don't use HASS so it might make more sense for you.
