I’ve been playing with virtual temperatures in node red. I have 6 nodes installed with a name and temperature type set in the node, and ‘initialize with default values’ is selected (Unit Id: 100-#105)
After deployment, the device list does not use the node name as custom name and is not always using the temperature type selected in the node. Some will take the node type, others are stuck on generic.
Modifying the custom name in the device list works and is properly reflected on the GUI. Changing the type in the device list works for the first 3 types but is ignored if the selection type is: room, outdoor, water heater, or freezer. The ignored selections revert back to type generic.
Interestingly, device #105’s custom name does follow the node name and the node type selection. All type selections in the node work, not just the first 3 selections. The other 5 virtual temperatures ignore the node information completely.
Also, I noticed virtual switches do not show up in the VRM device list.

Edit:
Deleted the 6 virtual device nodes and deployed. The device list showed only #105 was removed, the rest still showed in the list. Rebooted the Cerbo, all are gone.
Restored the 6 nodes and after deployment the names and types are correct in the device list, but again only #105 will properly accept name & type changes made in the node. Same as above.
Exported the 6 nodes to another Cerbo and the results are the same. Deleted those 6 nodes and created 6 new nodes. After deployment I now have 12 temperatures in the device list, 11 after removing disconnected devices.
