Separate entity, device and area name in more info dialog header and entity picker

[piitaya]

Proposed change

An attempt to improve more info dialog for entities.
For now it uses the backward compatibility with friendly_name. We should use entry registry for that but has_entity_name should be exposed in EntityRegistryDisplayEntry for that.

Needs home-assistant/core#125832

More info dialog

With device and area

Using device name as entity name (or empty entity name)

No device, no area

Entity picker

Walkthrough

The pull request introduces several utility functions for computing names associated with areas, devices, and entities in a Home Assistant environment. New files are created to define these functions, which enhance the retrieval and presentation of entity-related information. Additionally, modifications are made to the MoreInfoDialog component to utilize these new functions, improving the display of contextual information about entities.

🪧 Tips

Chat

There are 3 ways to chat with CodeRabbit:

• Review comments: Directly reply to a review comment made by CodeRabbit. Example:
  • I pushed a fix in commit <commit_id>, please review it.
  • Generate unit testing code for this file.
  • Open a follow-up GitHub issue for this discussion.
• Files and specific lines of code (under the "Files changed" tab): Tag @coderabbitai in a new review comment at the desired location with your query. Examples:
  • @coderabbitai generate unit testing code for this file.
  • @coderabbitai modularize this function.
• PR comments: Tag @coderabbitai in a new PR comment to ask questions about the PR branch. For the best results, please provide a very specific query, as very limited context is provided in this mode. Examples:
  • @coderabbitai gather interesting stats about this repository and render them as a table. Additionally, render a pie chart showing the language distribution in the codebase.
  • @coderabbitai read src/utils.ts and generate unit testing code.
  • @coderabbitai read the files in the src/scheduler package and generate a class diagram using mermaid and a README in the markdown format.
  • @coderabbitai help me debug CodeRabbit configuration file.

Note: Be mindful of the bot's finite context window. It's strongly recommended to break down tasks such as reading entire modules into smaller chunks. For a focused discussion, use review comments to chat about specific files and their changes, instead of using the PR comments.
