No way for 'chosen' name to go through to HomeKit?

[jmlumpkin]

Describe Your Problem:

Each of my sensors have a name (Garage, Office, Small/Large Bin). Each of those I have set up in the UI to have that name, but when looking at HomeKit (and the 'Name' section in the accessory) It is the GVH5101XXXX. I was wondering if instead of those names going to HomeKit, the 'chosen' name given in the UI could instead (if set).

This is a duplicate of https://github.com/asednev/homebridge-plugin-govee/issues/30. At this time, I don't see a way to get the device name from data broadcasted over BLE. Most likely Govee maintains device name in the iOS app.

One question beyond that - HomeBridge let's you name the accessories- could that not be read and sent back to HomeKit?
