Describe the problem

After updating to HA 2023.8.0 in the settings page there's a new warning. Transcript below.

# Discovered entities with a name that starts with the device name
This stops working in version 2024.2.0. Please address before upgrading.

Some MQTT entities have an entity name that starts with the device name. This is not expected. To avoid a duplicate name the device name prefix is stripped of the entity name as a work-a-round. Please inform the maintainer of the software application that supplies the affected entities to fix this issue.

List of affected entities:
- sensor.kamilpc_disk_dev_sda3
- sensor.kamilpc_disk_dev_sdb1
- text.kamilpc_send_keys
- binary_sensor.kamilpc_microphone_used
- sensor.kamilpc_disk_dev_nvme0n1p1
- sensor.kamilpc_disk_dev_nvme0n1p2
- binary_sensor.kamilpc_system_updates
- sensor.kamilpc_memory_usage
- sensor.kamilpc_media_info
- button.kamilpc_suspend
- switch.kamilpc_screen_onoff
- text.kamilpc_bash_command
- binary_sensor.kamilpc_camera_used
- button.kamilpc_restart
- sensor.kamilpc_gpu_amd_0
- update.kamilpc_update
- switch.kamilpc_keep_alive
- camera.kamilpc_webcam
- switch.kamilpc_webcam
- sensor.kamilpc_disk_dev_sda4
- sensor.kamilpc_cpu_usage
- button.kamilpc_shutdown

Warning - 03/08/2023

I have no idea what's going on here. Other integrations work fine, but in my setup only lnxlink uses the mqtt integration, so I have no way to check which one is to blame.

i don't think it's relevant, but here you go. There's a lot of stuff so I only included the part after the last update:

[Vasilis Koulis]

This is just a warning and it only shows once.
It affects most mqtt integrations on Home Assistant which need to be updated.
It won't be a problem for the next 6 months.

[pacjo]

It won't be a problem for the next 6 months.

So I can just safely ignore this, but this has to be fixed before 2024.2.0?

[Vasilis Koulis]

Yes, that's right.

[Vasilis Koulis]

Fixed on LNXlink version 2023.9.0.
The warnings will not appear anymore.
