Device name limited to 15 characters

[Eupeodes]

Thanks for this integration. Gives options for much better push notifications than the Elro app (and I like having everything in HA).

When setting up some of my devices showed up with generic names like FIRE_ALARM while others gave the names I set in the Elro app. After some searching I found that those devices for which the name exceeded 15 characters had this problem. I guess this is hard or impossible to fix, so perhaps it would be good to metion the 15 character name limit in the readme.md.

The 15 characters is a limit from the Elro connector. When changed in HA the name is also updated on the connector.

I had, in the Elro connector, names exceeding the 15 characters. Those were not synced to HA (those devices were given generic names. So it is sort of a limit, but not always strictly enforced by Elro. I still can set names longer than 15 characters in the Elro connector, but then the name in HA switches to something generic.

Okay, interesting. In my device list (Apparatenlijst) on the Elro Connects app when I try to change a name using manage (Beheren) I can up the name but not use more than 15 characters.

it would be good to metion the 15 character name limit in the readme.md.

That is a good suggestion.
