Fix duplicated device name in entity IDs - #10
Merged
Conversation
Migrate to has_entity_name pattern so Home Assistant does not prepend the device name twice when generating entity IDs. Move network prefix and connection type suffix into device_info.name and return only the entity description name from the name property. Fixes #6

Problem
Entity IDs contained the device name twice (e.g.
device_tracker.dad_ssid_dad). The integration manually built full entity names that included the resource name, while also settingdevice_info.nameto the resource name. Modern Home Assistant generates entity IDs by prependingdevice_info.nameto the entity name, so the resource name appeared twice.Upstream report: schmittx#158, upstream fix: schmittx#159.
Fix
Migrate to the
has_entity_namepattern:_attr_has_entity_name = TrueonEeroEntity._device_name()helper used bydevice_info, so they apply to the device name instead of every entity name.nameproperty now returns onlyentity_description.name(orNonewhen the description has no name, marking the entity as the device's primary entity).nameoverride inEeroDeviceTrackerEntity— its description has no name, so the tracker becomes the primary entity and uses the device name directly.Breaking change
Existing entity IDs will change (the duplicated device-name segment goes away). Automations, dashboards, and scripts referencing the old entity IDs will need to be updated after upgrading.
