Input source naming convention on V2 of homebridge #735

Current Situation

Hi @NorthernMan54

Sorry for bothering you, but I have a question.

I'm using input source naming convention of this plugin (i.e., 'Station -') to identify channel or external source of inputs for television accessory since it introduced. This is really useful to select input orally. I also implemented this convention for homebridge-gsh to share the plugin configuration.

However, in my experience, V2 of homebridge complains this convention to remove for future compatibility issue, not only starting time but also periodically of 15 minutes intervals. This is very annoying but unfortunately unavoidable as long as using this feature.

Proposed Change

To be honest, I don't have a solution. Moreover, I don't know my understandings of homebridge and this plugin features are correct. So, firstly, I'd like to confirm that this is really a issue or not, and want to know a way to avoid this dilemma.

If this is really a issue, user configurable prefix (e.g. 'Station' is OK for almost cases) can be a choice from my limited knowledge.
