Description

**Describe the problem you have/What new integration you would like**

So, everything work fine until meshed with component name (rename) now this new name publish to Home assistant now every automation linked to previous name, need reconfigure this was a pain if there are 10's of automation linked to single esphome component. Meanwhile everything break because of just a rename, this can be resolve by unique id coz esphome is part of homeassistant.
**Please describe your use case for this integration and alternatives you've tried:**
