Initial device naming setup

[wfoley]

Some weeks ago I set up a friend's new HE. Apparently, with the 2.2.6 code, the Device Name gets defaulted to the Driver Type selected. Even though I changed the Device Label to Toilet lights, I end up with the Past logs that refer to the defaulted Device Name rather than the desired Device Label.

Note that the above image was captured after I edited the Device Name to be the same as what I initially set as the Device Type.

Bottom line, my Past Logs report still refers to the devices by their original, default name as set when the device was first installed (and before I changed it to what is shown above). When I select one of the Leviton DZ6HD... dimmers in the Past Logs, I actually see the correct device log. Question is, how might I go about changing the device types showing at the top of the Past logs report as shown below?

Sounds like this:

"Past Logs," if memory serve, take the oldest display name (label if present, otherwise name) for the device that was still in use when the oldest entry for that device in the past logs were created. This is often the name of the driver the device paired with. Past logs are limited to a certain size (256 KB if that information is still accurate) and will eventually be pruned; in the meantime, you'll see what you describe. Live logs, or at least live logs where the page has been refreshed recentl…

Thanks for the timely feedback. Didn't find your previous post/explanation. Guess I'll just have to wait it out. Just surprised since this is the third system I've set up and saw the expected "Label" for the first two. Thanks again.

Well, I guess enough time passed because the names at the top of the logs now reflect the Device Label as I expect.
