Keep preaching! I know we’ve discussed this in another topic previously, so I won’t completely rehash my own habits here. I’ll just say that I personally don’t find a convention like this useful for most devices because Google Home (which I use) can have issues with that. I do use it routinely (pun intended) for my Google Home automations, because that’s where I try to do as much automating as I can, and that helps me to keep my long list of those organized.
The current production Wyze app doesn’t do this (automatically sort by alphabet or emoji order in the Rules section), and that’s what I hope will change in a future version (or at least have that be one of multiple sorting options for the Rules part of the app).
As an example, I use clock emoji to begin time-based Google Home automations (you can see examples if you hit the link in my first paragraph above), and the Google Home app sorts those for me. If I try adding a new Schedule type Rule in the Wyze app and begin its name with an appropriate clock emoji (like the others I already have there), the Wyze app just gives me the finger and adds it to the top of that subsection in Rules. Same with Device Trigger Rules.
That’s not a huge pain in the cheeks when I don’t have a lot of automations there (I have a few because I need those as work-arounds for some other Wyze device integration shortcomings), but if someone is basing the majority of their smart home automation entirely within the Wyze ecosystem, then this could be a real headache.
Yup. This is a major reason I don’t do it for devices.
In Google Home, since the trigger phrase I call out by voice doesn’t have to be the same as the automation name, I don’t care if the name has emoji in it, and neither does Google Home. The important part is that what I say is just regular ol’ words.
If someone else has better luck with emoji in device names, then more power to 'em, and I’m glad they found a system that works. One of the great things about a lot of this stuff is that we get to find our own ways that work for us, and we’re not all forced into using the exact same scheme. That can result in a lot of creative problem solving, and I’m a fan of that.
Pssst! He’s busy writing multiple lengthy posts on this Forum!
Oh, yeah, and he’s also pushing. 
Yeah, that really needs to happen.
Another way to look at it is that it’s a long-term solution for organization that makes a long list of items (devices, groups, automations, whatever) easier to scan. That’s what originally caused me to hit on the idea in Google Home (before I even joined the Wyze Forum and then later read about similar things here).
