Name of the sensors changes at every restart

What happened?

Each time I restart ialarm-mqtt the name of sensors changes.
If initially the name are:
sensor.last_event
switch.alarm_clean_cache
switch.alarm_clean_discovery
switch.alarm_clean_triggered

After the restart are now:
sensor.last_event_2
switch.alarm_clean_cache_2
switch.alarm_clean_discovery_2
switch.alarm_clean_triggered_2

The same occurs for many, but not all, the sensor names of the zones. I noticed that the first four sensors don't change, whlie the are are suffixed with "_2": binary_sensor.battery_zone_10_tapp_fines_giard_2 and so on

I i resart again the add-on, the names are reverted back to:
sensor.last_event
switch.alarm_clean_cache
switch.alarm_clean_discovery
switch.alarm_clean_triggered
The same for the names of the zones.

So there is a flip-flop change in the names.

Running HAOS 2022.12.5

Just noticed that the flip-flop of the names occurs pushing the "Clean discovery" as well

Confirmed.

Right now ialarm-mqtt sends the discovery messages multiple times and this causes:

1. duplication of entities (with id'_2' )
2. reset of personalization on Home Assistant side (name, icon, etc)

Temporary workaround for number 1:
you can try clearing discovery a couple of times as described here: #23 (comment)

Real fix (WIP)
Rework ialarm-mqtt dicovery process to sends messages only if needed or by request and allow name and icon customization directly on yaml on the addon (partially done in docker/npx version).

I can confirn that the workaround is working for me. So after the resart clicking two times on Clean Discovery, the sensor names fall back to the correct ones.
