Multiple added devices Indistinguishable #41

I got one sensor working through my tests so I added 5 DHT/Temperature/Humidty sensors. Each had a unique "name" and unique "service_name" (not sure how each of these attributes are used internally) but when I opened up the Home App, there was no way to determine which device was which name.

I ended up one-by-one sending arbitrary data to identify the home app device and move it to a Room but the room change didn't stick - it was gone when I moved the next device.

Note: for this test I was not responding to any homebridge/from/get topics - just sending homebridge/to/set topics.

I ended up just removing all and will try again later. Any thoughts?
