Observer device/hardware name #96

Hey there, this is potentially an easy question and maybe not even linked to this driver specifically. Would be thankful for some pointers!

With a config similar to

[Interceptor]
    driver = user.interceptor
    device_type = observer
    port = 8000

we get image

In my case this should actually state "Ambient Weather WS-2902A".

How can I set my weather station name/type?

Edit: Following the developer guide of weewx the string "observer" comes through the property hardware_name https://www.weewx.com/docs/customizing.htm#hardware_name

@matthewwall did you ever consider supporting an additional config setting to set the hardware_name to a custom string?
