Device logo selection with helper integrations

[dougiteixeira]

With the inclusion of helper entities in the source entity device, some devices have used the helper integration logo instead of the original integration (home-assistant/core#95601).

Thinking about solving this, at least for the helper integrations, I think the device logo selection could ignore helper integrations, that way it would avoid this confusion.

This is already a known and unsolved problem for the frontend, it occurs with other integrations as well. Here is the issue history:

• Wrong Device Logo #12123
• Brand Icons for entities from multiple integrations #14620
• Wrong brand displayed when a device have multiple integration #14163
• Utility meter logo displayed for ESPhome devices core#95601

There was an attempt to improve this in PR #14762, but there was no consensus for approval.

I believe that this is not the definitive solution for all devices with multiple integrations, but it would solve it for helpers.

Yes I want to set this on my own. I have many Shelly devices and want them to shown as Shelly devices because they are. But I have FritzBox too and there I only have Internet Access to change but all the shellys are changing between this icons differently!

I believe #17105 solves this.

No this is only for Helpers I mean this, they are all Shelly devices so I want to set Shelly as Main Integration.
And if I restart HA they are mixed again.

This feature request was just the mess the helpers were making, this has been resolved.

Solution for all is being prepared at home-assistant/core#95641.
