BMS name cannot be permanently set

[lfhoward]

Describe the bug

Dear Louis,

This is a fantastic piece of software! Thank you so much for creating this. I installed it on my Venus system this week and it worked right away with no modifications. I am running an Overkill BMS with my battery, and running Venus on a Raspberry Pi 3b.

I want to give my BMS a custom name because the default "SerialBattery(LTT/JBD)" is long and shorter names are easier to display on the GUI. I can rename it to "BMS" using "Device" and "Name" in the settings. However, the name change does not stick, and the name defaults back to "SerialBattery(LTT/JBD)" when Venus OS is rebooted.

Can we get the BMS name change (and possibly other SerialBattery settings) to survive a reboot? Has anyone else noticed other customized properties that revert to default when rebooting Venus?

Thanks, Lauren

How to reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. In the Device menu, change the Name of the new device "SerialBattery(BMStype)" to a custom name, like "BMS"
2. Go back to the Pages screen and verify that the name change is being displayed properly.
3. Reboot Venus OS.
4. After the system boots up, the custom name change is gone and the device name is back to the default "SerialBattery(BMStype)".

Expected behavior

Name changes made on the Device menu in Venus should survive a reboot of the system and not have to be set again.

Try the latest nightly from the dev branch and it will work.
