Original issue: Sian-Lee-SA#400
Problem
Auto-discovery doesn't work if the switch/device name includes a forward slash (/), because MQTT uses / as the topic separator. A device named Location on/off generates a topic like zigbee2mqtt/Location on/off/action, which breaks topic.split('/') parsing.
Proposed Fix
Input validation in the frontend: device names containing / should be rejected or escaped. Alternatively, fix the topic parsing to handle this edge case.
