The good news is that I have just released openplotter-serial app and it will do all the job for you :you can set an alias to your device and you have to use that alias when you want to configure your device in any program. Your device will be remembered by its serial number or even by its position in the USB connector or hub. You will be able to crete connections with other apps or programs like SK, CAN, GPSD, pypilot...
Interesting. Do you plan to write Signal K settings directly from openplotter-serial? Could you document what kind of structures you are creating on disk, maybe it would be worthwhile to support named serial connections directly in Signal K admin application.

I can't seem to do anything with this discovered connection though. Should it be that you could click on it and set it to 'Enabled' or that it becomes automatically enabled? Mine does neither.
That's the way they are supposed to work, but apparently they don't. Sorry about that, I'll try to look into it when I have some time.
