Set accessory name to include Mac address to make unique

[maccoylton]

Hi, any idea the maximum size of the accessory name, I tried adding some code to the user_init function to append the Mac address to the accessory name, however although the resultant mdns entry looks ok, and the accessory name shows as I expect in the iOS Home app, I cannot get a successful pair. There is constant called ANLMAX used in send_mdns function, but I don't see where that is defined.

So should't this statement in hk.c be defined with ANLMAX ?

byte myACCname[14]

my issue could something getting overwritten if my actual accessory name is > 14 byes given ANLMAX is defined as 32 ?

thanks in advance
