Fiware Orion-LD Auto Increment Entity Id

An Entity Id is required for each new entity in the broker. In NGSI-LD the format for the Entity Id is urn:ngsi-ld:TemperatureSensor:001.
Is it possible to somehow autoincrement the number of the Entity so that the new Entity can be created programmatically?
For example, provide something like urn:ngsi-ld:TemperatureSensor:* and the new Entity can be created with an auto-incremented Entity Id. Thanks.

The id should be generated by the application itself. You have multiple ways of generating unique ids but I would recommend ids that have some semantics behind so that you can, for instance, infer from an id in which area the sensor is located, who the owner is, etc.
