Setting Name Overrides
ℹ️ If you need additional help with setting name overrides, please file a help request.
Each name override requires setting a service identifier to specify which data on which device should have a custom name. The tricky part is getting the format of the service identifier set correctly.
The service identifier is specified in the form YYYY(CHZ):<data-property>.
YYYY is the device id (e.g. WH41)
(CHZ) is the optional channel id if the device uses a channel (e.g. CH1)
<data-property> is the name of the service that represents specific data (e.g. indoorTempeature)
Step 1. The device id (YYYY) and channel id (CHZ) can be found from the Home app (or third party apps) by looking for the "Serial Number" property of the service.

Step 2. The data property will always be one of the following strings:

To get the right data property, navigate to the Supported Devices section of the README and look at the Service column once you find your device (from Step 1) in the table. The Service column will show the services (data properties) available for a particular device, and then this can be cross-referenced with the data property list above.
For example, from the Supported Devices table, the WH65 supports Wind Direction as shown in the Service column which would correlate to windDirection from the list above - which gives the full service identifier as WH65:windDirection to override the name of the wind direction property on the WH65 sensor array.

| Service Id | Name Override |
|---|---|
| WH51CH1:soilMoisture | Monstera Pot |
| WH51CH2:soilMoisture | Vege Patch |
| BASE:indoorTemperature | Downstairs Temp |
| WH25:battery | Utility Room Temp Batt |
| WH26:humidity | Outside Humidity |
