I agree, I think serial is the way to go.
If a user has multiple identical (noncompliant) devices with no serial number, then "Remember device" won't work. But they still have the option of "Remember port" instead.

I've tried adding three of my USB serial cables, all with serial numbers and all seems to work as expected. Symlinks are created and I can add them to Signal K - all showing as connected. I've also tried a device with no serial (u-blox) and that's good too. The Details button shows all the info.
Remember Device or Remember port both work on any device.
Anything specific you'd like to try?

Perfect, please could you send me the output of the "Details" window for one of them with serial attribute?

Perfect thanks!
I needed to confirm that ID_SERIAL_SHORT is the right tag for serial because you can also find the serial in ID_USB_SERIAL_SHORT. It should work on both cases.
If TVR test is successful I will publish the update ASAP.
