Device Manager Import / Export Functions

How do I import and export device names with the R3 and DumaOS 4?

There isn't the ability to do that, is there a specific use case for this? I can request the team to add it

This was one of the functions that I used the most and loved.  I've had some rogue devices show up on my network, so I monitor which devices are connected now.  I have a lot of smart home devices and add more all the time.  Some of them are only used for certain holidays, functions, etc.   If I ever have to reset the router, I simply just have to import the names from my master device name list, and I don't have to figure out all the names again.  Now, I have to go through my list manually by looking up mac addresses and renaming each one individually.  

I am disappointed that you would take away a function from one generation to the next.

Ah gotcha, that makes sense, I'll ask the team to see if they can add it back.

Here are some comments.

1. When typing in the new device name, it will often erase what you typed and revert to the current saved name.  I think it changes whenever there's a device update.  It is VERY annoying.   I have to type quickly and save it.  I happened on over a third of the ones typing. I only put in half the names because it was getting too time-consuming and frustrating.  30 devices took me about 20 minutes having to look up mac addresses and often retyping the names again.
2. The device names on the tree view are very small when you have a lot of devices on the tree.  It would be nice to have larger names.  The font size is not consistent with the rest of the display page with a large tree size.

1. That's a really good catch, I was able to reproduce this, I will pass it onto the team to fix. 
2. Could you provide a screenshot of how that looks please?

Thank you, I will pass that on to see if we can make it better. You can change the view to just WiFi or wired which would help

That's only half of them.  That's the normal devices (~35) without any other people and some other smart devices that are not currently being used.   For the holidays, I expect to have an extra 20 people.

I would also like to have this import/export feature and larger device names.
