Yep, works for me. I like the suggestion Ltek made. That is pretty much the convention I use for naming devices. However you are right that sometimes character limits are a problem, which means being creative with the names. Phoscon does a right trim if the name is too long, that might be an option for you too.
The "new" problem I was experiencing was trying to rename a parent device from the normal Homeseer device configuration tab. When I try to change the name there, it will sometimes change back on its on a few minutes later. This problem was effecting new devices as well as old devices. However I have found that renaming on the JowiHue tab works every time and does not revert back. So now I just rename on the JowiHue tab and issue solved. However, I wanted you to be aware in case others ran into the same issue.
Last night I also had a duplication issue similar to the one Ltek experienced with Keen vents. For me JowiHue kept creating a new root device for a Samjin (SmartThiings) outlet every 10 minutes or so. The problem turned out to be deCONZ did not correctly join the outlet initially, and JowiHue imported the outlet with capabilities of a dimmable RGBW bulb. What is a bit odd is the outlet had been joined to the network for around 24 hours before the duplication started. I deleted the device from Phoscon and JowiHue and then rejoined, and all is well now.
