The manufacturer field already identifies these as Loxone devices. The prefix just added noise to device names in the HA UI. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 <noreply@anthropic.com>

I merged it manually. Hope we will not get a lot of issues. I think I made it on purpose but I can not remember why. |

Question / Discussion
I noticed that all Loxone devices in HA get a "loxone" prefix in their display name (e.g., "loxone Kitchen Light" instead of just "Kitchen Light"). This comes from
helpers.py:get_or_create_device():Is there a specific reason for this? The manufacturer field is already set to "Loxone", and HA shows the integration attribution in the UI, so the prefix seems redundant and adds noise to the device list.
This PR removes the prefix. When I tested locally, all active devices got renamed automatically on next HA load — no manual intervention needed, no broken automations (entity_ids are unaffected since they come from the entity's own name, not the device name).
Changes
One-line change: device name uses
device_namedirectly instead off"{DOMAIN} {device_name}".Observations from testing
