Open saiajin opened this issue 3 years ago • 5 comments

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe: I have mulitiple sensors and they seem to come in as names like GVH5075C68A but I cant fina a correlation in the Govee app so I having a hard time adding multiple sensors and differentiating them

Describe the solution you'd like: possibly a way to correlate the sensor name as they are labeled in the Govee app or another method to tell them apart

Describe alternatives you've considered: Tried looking for these IDs in the Govee app but cant find them

Additional context:

I have not been able to find this information in the bluetooth announcements made by Govee devices. I suspect that device name might be maintained locally on the app, and not on the device. Govee devices do broadcast another announcement that I have not been able to decrypt. It might contain additional information.

Regarding this - as a potential work around might it be possible to simply allow for naming of the devices based on bluetooth MAC in the interim? Not exactly ideal of course but users can reach the same effective end-state.
