Location Separation for Blinds #79

Description

@Kaotic3

I have noticed in HA that my blinds are all where my device is located.

If I have the ESP device in the living room, then all of my blinds are in the living room as well. It doesn't matter if I have separated them within the app, they appear in HA where the main device is located and you can't separate the individual entity from the main device.

This only becomes problematic when trying to use voice assistance, as it tends to require a location as a part of the instruction. Thus when you say "Main blinds in the living room" this becomes all of the blinds in the living room, which becomes, all of the blinds in the house because as far as HA is concerned, all of the blinds are in the living room.

I have tried naming them differently, but it still gets confused without a location and using the location tends to identify all blinds, because they are all in a shared location.

Is there anyway to separate out the location of the entities within HA based on the information that was generated in the online application?

I also understand that maybe I am completely failing to understand the brilliance of HA and I can simply do x y or z to get this to work - I am no expert in HA, but I can't work out how to change an entity location without changing all entity locations on the device.
