Request: More Characters allowed in a Name

[ShawnW]

Hi All,

  A little while back I saw a screenshot that someone posted of some programming or whatever from their eISY or Polisy, and I could have sworn that it appeared that it had substantially longer Names (Insteon/Z-Wave Node Names that are typically user-set). I assumed that this was a feature of eISY or Polisy and was one of the drivers for me to migrate from my ISY994i.

  Finally migrated last month annnnnnnd, I feel like I was mistaken?? 

  Is it possible to have more than 29 characters in the user-set Name of your modules/Nodes? I would be SUPER HAPPY if this were possible! 

Please anyone advise if you know anything about this. 

Thanks!!
Shawn

Oh, incase it wasn't obvious, I believe the name length allowed should be MUCH higher than 29 characters! Heck, I might even be happier to get even 5 additional characters. THX

@ShawnW this would probably be better addressed by contacting UDI directly.

From a user standpoint I try to keep my names as short as possible. When they get too long you can't see the whole name in some of the drop down options. So long names and nested names become unusable. IMO

Hi @Geddy

  I'm kinda the opposite personality - the 'no such thing as too much detail' kinda guy! 
  It wasn't as bad when it was just Insteon, but since Z-Wave and all the freakin long-name additional nodes, its very tough get any info in there, even after removing all the vowels and spaces, lol.
