    Device has just name, no location

    Hi All,

    Just enabled one of my devices for Voice Command via the Alexa skill for Homeseer. I then ran a discover and the device is now appearing in the Alexa skill page. But, the name is not complete.

    Usually I get this:

    Side Entrance Lamp
    Lamp in Lighting Side Entrance, connected via HomeSeer

    So location, then device name. But for the new one I have just:

    Wall Light
    Wall Light in Lighting Front Door, connected via HomeSeer

    It's not prefixing it with Front Door.

    Any ideas? I can't see a reason why.

    Homeseer names the devices with the shortest unique name it can.

    So, if you have two devices named 'light', it will add the room to the second device (cuz the first device named light will be unique at that point)

    If the device name and room are the same, it will add the floor as well.
