Fixed bugs:

• Fix issue #37 - Restart of HASS causes all entities to be renamed to defaults
  improving the way the component is loading, unloading and discover new entities (sensors, camera and switch).

  In that version, the entity_id, name will remain as manually set and changes of options will take place immediately
