A breaking change was introduced in Home Assistant 2023.8 involving naming of MQTT entities.

The following warning is logged by Home Assistant:

2023-08-03 10:52:24.376 WARNING (MainThread) [homeassistant.components.mqtt.mixins] MQTT entity name starts with the device name in your config {'availability_topic': 'wifi/access-point-4/status', 'device': {'connections': [['mac', '00:00:00:00:00:0']], 'name': 'Xiaomi Redmi K20', 'via_device': 'access-point-4', 'identifiers': []}, 'icon': 'mdi:wifi-marker', 'json_attributes_topic': 'wifi/station/access-point-4/00-00-00-00-00-00/attrs', 'name': 'Xiaomi Redmi K20 access-point-4', 'object_id': '000000000000_access-point-4', 'payload_available': 'online', 'payload_home': 'connected', 'payload_not_available': 'offline', 'payload_not_home': 'not_connected', 'qos': 2, 'source_type': 'router', 'state_topic': 'wifi/station/access-point-4/00-00-00-00-00-00/state', 'unique_id': 'wifipresence_000000000000_access-point-4', 'encoding': 'utf-8', 'enabled_by_default': True, 'payload_reset': 'None', 'availability_mode': 'latest'}, this is not expected. Please correct your configuration. The device name prefix will be stripped off the entity name and becomes 'Access-point-4'

Yeah saw that. Only have 7 months to find a fix. I found it a bit difficult to understand what was going to happen then. Possibly just some added stuff to the name or unique id then and some adjustments to some scripts and automations to account for new names. I wonder if can just adjust something in the wif-presence config to get around this. Must give it a go and see.

Thanks, we'll have to update the naming convention to match these new requirements.

Change entity name to not include device name
4ddf47c 
This seems to fix the new HA error of:
> MQTT entity name starts with the device name in your config

Also:
The Homeassistant setup needs updating for newer version. This allows
for a basic instance of HASS to be run via docker compose, and then
for wifi-presence to send events to it via MQTT.

Fixes #18
