The channel names mismatch with a product. #7

I got EM16P as a replacement for EM16. Previous device had proper channel names that matches physically, e.g.
em16_b5_power
It is very convenient and easy to use because b5 is written on actual device and also on a CTs! Even more, I printed bar bus layout with all breakers labeled and same notation marked for CTs.

But this device integration gives completely different layout: em_channel_10_power, so 1 to 18 instead of a1-6, b1-6, c1-6.

As far as I understand B1 is just 7, etc... It is doable to recalculate but what is the point? Yes, I can bake it into my excel, but It does not match manufacturer's labels if I open the panel again (and I bet I'll be doing it the whole first month). It is really extra unnecessary step. Renaming in HA is not an option, since every channel gives 10 sensors, so 180 entities to rename. I believe the naming here should not be worse than it was in EM16 integration.
