Device nicknames not updating. about eero_tracker HOT 2 CLOSED

Sorry I never followed up on this, but it ended up working once I updated, and did a full reinstall of hassOS and hassio. So I have no idea why it wasn't working in the first place.

I do appreciate this add on, as it gives me pretty damn reliable device tracking.

Sorry for the delay in responding to this. So the problem tends to be more with HA than this code.

Once a device is tracked via eero_tracker, it passes that information off to HA to use. HA will store the name given to the device in known_devices at that moment in time. At that point the name is "fixed", and the only way to change it is to update the known_devices.yml in HA. It's a one-and-done thing, and HA would have to update their system to handle name changes.

Sadly there's not much I can do to help with this problem since it's out of our hands. You could request that feature in HA though. Hopefully that makes sense :)
