Proposed change

Many users find the "This entity does not have a unique ID, therefore its settings cannot be managed from the UI" message too cryptic.
Here is one of several threads: https://community.home-assistant.io/t/this-entity-does-not-have-a-unique-id-therefore-its-settings-cannot-be-managed-from-the-ui/182307

I know my proposed wording might not be ideal, so open to other wording!
