Renaming switch doesn't rename already created child devices #53

When I add a child device, it populates the name as "{parentName} (LED Color)" or similar, using the current name of the parent device. If I rename the parent device, the original name remains unchanged.

I would expect that renaming the parent device would trigger a rename of all active child devices.

This is especially problematic because the current version of the driver seems to create an LED Color child device by default when including the dimmer, but at that point the name of the device is "Inovelli Dimmer Red Series LZW31-SN". As a result, even if I enter an appropriate name right away, I'm left with all of my dimmers having child devices named only based on the model number. This is not a good experience.

I have experienced this with the red series dimmer, red series switch, and black series switch. I haven't tested any other devices. It may also affect other drivers as well.

My current workaround is to

  1. Name the parent device what I want
  2. Remove all the child devices
  3. Add back the ones I want

But this is cumbersome and would be difficult if I already had child devices included in automations.
