Model: Deco M9 Plus  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version: 1.3.0

Hello,

I don't get why the Deco app ask you to choose a name for you Deco within a list of maybe 8 names.

For two of my Deco that's okay, I managed to find a "distinct" name so that I can know which one it is (but if you have two Deco in a Corridor, good luck with that ...! 

 

But one of my Deco is in my basement. I have to name to put against it.
Why restricting the name of the Deco to a set of predefined Rooms. Could it be just a value you enter, maybe Deco 1 2 3 would be even easier to manage sometimes.

I don't get why even if this products is aiming maybe low skilled users, it has to be restrictive on such things !

Well, this is not a big issue, but something nice to have ! 

Thanks

Guillaume

Hello @Kevin_Z 

I would have never guessed that the last choice which looks exactly like the others would have offered the option to rename it! 

That's great ! Thanks!

(Can you make this option more visible?)

By the way: in the web interface, renamed Deco is named "custom_1" instead of its name.

Hello, thanks for your reply. It seems that the device name has not been synchronized to web UI automatically.

 

You can use the Mac address to verify them or use the Deco app. And we will forward it to our product department so that they can improve it. 

 

Thanks a lot for your kindly understanding and support. 

 

Best regards.

Hello ! FYI, something to be escalated to your localization teams : the "Custom" option becomes "Clientèle" (=customers) in the french version of the app, so it's even less obvious that it's the option to pick to chose a personnalized name. Thanks !
