[Request] rename MQTT prefix for better clarity #160

Closed 0crap closed 1 year ago

If you use the MQTT option and configure it under "Advanced->OTGW Settings" the prefix box can have a better description.

Now the item is called MQTT Home Assistant prefix. MQTT prefix

Looking from the MQTT side of it, this is in fact the MQTT Auto Discovery Prefix. Which seems a better and more accurate description for this box.

Not only Home Assistant but also other home automation software, like Domoticz, can use the OTGW. So for first time OTGW users, keeping the current name might be confusing.

For backwards compatibility it seems an idea to keep the default value at homeassistant. But you might consider to leave this field empty by default.

Will be changed in next release.
