Using aliases in newest version #122

Closed exetico closed 3 years ago

exetico commented 3 years ago

Hi,

I've updated to the new version, and followed the update-guide, but there's no option for "aliases" anymore.

Are it removed 100%? The "Friendly name" only gives me one alternativ pr. device, and that's a bit too little for me, in some cases.

Are there a work-around for this, or can it be defined as a bug?

Important:

Issues that don't provide the information requested in the troubleshooting docs may not get a reply and may be closed until the info is provided. Please, include as much of the requested info as possible so that I can replicate and investigate your issue.

When pasting in your config/code/errors always place 3 backticks ``` above the first line and after the last line. Doing this will format it correctly.

If you want to use multiple names for a single device use the keyword replacement feature.

Example:

You have a device with the friendly name of "My Device", but want to also be able to call it "Downstairs" and "Living Room". Your keyword replacement config would look like this:

"downstairs":"my device", "living room":"my device"

Now you can say "Downstairs", "Living Room", and "My Device" all for the same device.
