Friendly name for ESP devices

[sebba]

Hello there,

I'm playing with some ESPs, some of them "powered" by SensESP (thank you contributors)

I am wondering if there are any ways to have a friendly name shown in Connection Activity Dashboard, maybe the text which is used in device's description, instead the client ID code

   

   


Thanks,
Seb

Huh? No one knows? Not even a hint?
Thanks

Some of the SignalK guys should weigh in here, but it might be worth having a look at the code to determine how the serial number is derived. It looks like something it might be getting from the ESP.

I think I found where this code is defined in EasyESP but I am not sure if its safe to change it.
Somehow, I think will be a better option to alter only the displayed text in SignalK dashboard and not the client_id code which is coming from ESP.
Still digging...
