remove garage from cover entity, so devices can be named consistently #247

as it stands, if you call your ratgdo "Little Garage", you end up with a cover named cover.little_garage_garage_door, and a light named light.little_garage_light

After this change, you'd have cover.little_garage_door and light.little_garage_light, which feels more internally correct.

Conversely if you name a ratgdo "Little" to avoid the "double garage" in your cover entity, you'd end up with cover.little_garage_door and light.little_light. The light entity could be troublesome - call your garage "Main" and you suddenly have a "main_light" which probably overstates its importance in your environment.
