Feature Request: configure names of exposed devices #70

Closed lsinger closed 2 years ago

lsinger commented 2 years ago

My Home setup is in German because I use Siri in German, so all my rooms and devices have German names.

The optional "Latch" name for the Nuki Smart Lock is not configurable however, so that's weird or sometimes impossible to use via voice commands.

It would be great if the names of the exposed devices could be configured in the settings.

-- I love that this plugin exists, so thank you for your effort. ❤️

Accessory and service names are managed from HomeKit. You can update them from a HomeKit app, and only from a HomeKit app. They're initialised from the accessory (i.c. the Homebridge plugin) when first exposed, but afterwards they lead a life on their own. Note that Siri uses the service names, not the accessory names.

Thanks @ebaauw -- found it, renaming the latch was a bit hidden. 👍
