Since the HS device model shifted to parent/child (late HS3) or root/feature (HS4), I've become more and more frustrated with getting a complete device name out of the device model. I have 18 root devices that all have a feature of "switch". dv.Name returns "switch" for all of them, So, if I have more than one of these devices in the same Location and Location2, they all come up as Location Location2 Switch. IMHO, they should be Location Location2 RootName Switch. Some plugins have addressed this while others have not. This is particularly frustrating in scripts and events when trying to report a FULL device name. Similar problem with Root devices that have a "battery" feature.
Sorry for the /rant but I think this is something that needs to be addressed but I'm not sure how to go about it.
