First they forced adding device name Infront of the ESPHome devices. As someone with 50 ESPHome devices, I didn't appreciate this. Now they added areas as another prefix.

Its one thing if they called a best practice, or gave you a system wide option to turn it off. But that's not the case.

Where's them listening to the community? This issue has a few hundred comments and no response.

I saw someone suggested having a customizable naming temple which I think is brilliant.
