OPC-UA browse name & display name #10830

Closed ashdam closed 3 months ago

ashdam commented 3 months ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Actually its a fuctionality limitation we found in OPC-UA connector

Describe the solution you'd like OPC-UA has 3 ways of referenting to a node: nodeid (unique), browse name (cannot be changed) and display name (can be changed by the user). Our company, uses the tag path like "root_node1_node2_node3" to refer to an specific device or variable it's important that this path does not vary. Using browse name you ensure path and naming doesn't vary over time (cannot be changed).

We would like to add the option to use display or browse name of variable/tag. TB currently have only "display name" available.

Describe alternatives you've considered Using display name is OK but does not fulfil our requirements

Additional context In UAExpert, typical OPC-UA client, you can see and use both.

Hi @ashdam,

This feature request relates to ThingsBoard IoT Gateway, could you create it there, please?
