ESPHome
Summary
When commissioning a new device for for use with ESPHome/Homeassistant, the current firmware has the device name baked into the firmware (ESPectre). This only allow a single device to be added easily to ESPHome/Homeassistant. If the last 4 characters of the devices MAC address were appended to the device name during flashing (ie: espectre-28-58), this would easily enable additional ESPectre devices to be commissioned and added to ESPHome/Homeassistant with no additional configuration needed by end users
Problem or use case
Currently additional devices need to have custom configurations applied to enable multiple ESPectre device to be added to ESPHome/HomeAssistant.
