A possible middle ground would be to display the Device Name instead of or in addition to the Device Type in the Device List. We could use Device Name for "Family Room Floor Lamp" and "Floor Lamp" as the Label (Name). The Dashboard would continue to show the short Label (Name) and we can sort by the Device Name to group items by location or other information in the Device List. The only change to the system would be the Device List page gets an additional column.
All optional so people who like it the way it is can continue to let Device Name be auto populated with the Driver name. While everyone else get's two usable fields.
