These devices currently lack this feature, but it has the potential to be useful for each product for different reasons:
- Lamp Socket v2 should have Actions exposed for user-created Automations, and doing so in a way that’s truly useful would require the ability for users to assign a name to each device.
- As a device with its own independent Wi-Fi connection, Lamp Socket v2 simply should have the same type of device naming ability as other Wyze Wi-Fi-enabled devices. Even non-Wi-Fi devices, like Headphones, allow this!
- Although I can visually identify a specific Lamp Socket v2 device by tapping its Test button within the app and watching for the socket’s attached light bulb to turn on, being able to assign a unique name to each device would add greater context and improve usability and troubleshooting.
- Similarly, I can make an Accessory Bulb blink with its Show button in the app, but each bulb currently displays to the user with only a MAC address fragment or “bulb:#” for the “name”. This is not user friendly (especially not when troubleshooting connectivity issues), and being able to assign a unique name (like a location) for each Accessory Bulb would be a hugely helpful improvement.
