    Considering the fact that just like Apple Home, HA dashboards strip the first part of the display name if it’s identical to the area name, I use the „area device“ convention. So „Bathroom Leak Moisture“ is displayed as „Leak Moisture“ under the area „Bathroom“.
    Furthermore HA allows to recreate entity Ids after renaming a device resulting in: „binary_sensor.bathroom_leak_moisture“.
    So if I move my sensor to another location, I simply rename it to „Attic Leak „.

    I have two HAOS installations with MQTT as well as ZHA. Mosquito being an add-on, as far as I know it’s a container anyway but ZHA and MQTT are normal integrations and I never have any issues. Generally speaking I always try to stick with what the developers suggest, in my eyes it’s the best strategy to avoid messing up with dependencies as they take care of those.
