Are there any recommended best practices?
I’m doing a fresh setup on a new system and want to use this opportunity to organise things better. Previously it was quite a mess 😅
Some loose thoughts:
- I don’t really want to use the brand, so I could replace devices
- Not all devices have a fixed place (e.g. the phone), so using the room in the name might not be a nice solution, or I could use “portable” instead for those
My naming scheme is usually Area_Type_Location, e.g. i have a table lamp on a small table in a corner of my livingroom. the bulb in it is named Livingroom_Light_CornerTable
As for movable devices, i name them Type_Model_Function/Owner, e.g. Phone_Pixel8_ExcessShiv or Tablet_Ipad_MainControl
