Longer Device Names

Please allow for longer device names!!!!

A limit of 13 characters is too restrictive when you have a larger home and are trying to name the door and window sensors descriptively enough to easily identify them when a sensor goes off.

Make Character Limit For Names Of Devices And Cameras The Same (And Make It Greater Than It Is Today!)

@MehulAmin First, I agree with you, more than 13 characters would be nice, however, with some planning you can make it work. I own a two story colonial, full basement, 2 car attachd garage. Just the first and 2nd floor is 2600 sq ft and have 40+ devices.  First step: don't include the type of sensor in the name. The push alerts, SMS or email messages automatically tell you that. Next, standardize room types, like BR for bedroom, MBR, KT (Kitchen) etc.  For two car garage MA or DL will do with our initials. Yes, not ideal but gets the job done. There are many other features I want to see from SS before they get to this.
