Descriptive service names #384

Closed Avamander closed 1 year ago

Describe the idea or improvement Additional services should have names accepted by HomeKit. Currently I can see that the additional services (such as "Fan Speed - Level 1") do have descriptive names, if the name is manually cleared and retyped without the dash - one can save them, but HomeKit/Home currently defaults to the device's name. That is not very usable.

Describe the solution you'd like Additional services such as ionizer control, fan levels, child lock etc. should have names accepted by HomeKit that are descriptive of the functionality. Renaming things manually they reset sometimes, so it's not sustainable for even two fans (2 * 7 = 14 toggles to rename).

Unfortunately a known issue which was introduced with ios16 in the home app. More info here: https://github.com/merdok/homebridge-miot/issues/338#issuecomment-1249729272
