First kudos to those who brought visualization to Bluetooth! What a eye-opener! Although I knew I had a lot of bluetooth activity in my home seeing it in a visual way is a game changer. It is the raw number of devices that brings me here today to make this request…
Feature Request: Allow the ability to “tag” those blue tooth devices that do not themselves report a name and provide one. (Self-named devices should be indicated as such).
Obviously this will not work for all devices as many mobile phones and wearable device randomize their MAC address. But there are many devices out there that do not report their name and are static. If I could tag them with a friendly name it would improve the ability to troubleshoot bluetooth even better.
Good idea! There are a lot of Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) devices flying by in our world. Fun to see at time, however a lot of cruff. It would be nice to have ways to tag device you want to see and have filtered views of device in and out of tags. Maybe even by partial MAC address, I believe there are database of vendor to partial mac address at the Bluetooth association (maybe even partial advertising attribute values), this might help finding new devices that you want to keep track of their comings and goings and attributes. Tire pressure sensors is an example, you will see lots of them ‘go by’.
I also second this… I have a ton of Bluetooth devices in the visualization showing as “unknown” while almost all of them are part of my devices in Homeassistant. Also why are they named “unknown”/ When I see unknown I would think a device that is connected to my Bluetooth network that is not mine (like an intruder)?!? Maybe I’m wrong on this but that is my way of seeing “unknown”
