Allow other serial device names

[KoMa1978]

In Linux running as a service, only default device names are selectable like /dev/ttyUSB3.

As this may change during a boot or if using another USB port, it would be great if you can choose a serial connection like "/dev/serial/by-id/usb-FTDI_FT232R_USB_UART_A50285BI-if00-port0".

This is a symbolic link to the valid /dev/ttyUSBX device.

Works as expected. Only little drawback would be that serialport does not enumerate serial-devices by id but anyhow - think your intend is to specify it manually.

Changing it in the userdata.json also works fine. I wasn't aware that this is a limitation of serialport

Thanks a lot,

Yes it's just the same 👍🏻
