Hi all!
is it possible to use a MQTT topic as a friendly name?
For example my topic from HA are:
home/roller-shutter/P1/room1/1
home/roller-shutter/P1/room1/2
home/roller-shutter/P1/room2/1
home/roller-shutter/P1/room1/1
If I could use topic as friendly name, the friendly name could be roller-shutter/P1/room1/2 and in Node Red I could just change home with zigbee2mqtt from the topic and nothing else, the message would be ready for Zigbee2MQTT
I do this because I want to keep device separated from Home Assistant, so that in Home Assistant I have all the topics that have the same format, independently from the device (that may not be controlled by Zigbee2MQTT) and in Node Red I do the translation (from/to Zigbee2MQTT, HTTP, TCP or whatever communication protocol is needed for a device).
Thanks!
P.s. I know that I could just try, but I'm away from home and my devices for some days and I wanted to keep going with the setup of HA and Node Red.
