C-Bus would have a similar requirement. At the moment, I have C-Bus kit
on the workbench, but it's going into the (next) house, and I'd
definitely want every lighting channel to have a friendly name. I
suspect that the same would apply to pretty much any lighting controller.
Moving onwards, something like a webbrick or HomeVision, which are
multi-function devices...
... or a temperature controller. I'd far rather they said
"temp.lounge"
and "temp.bed1" rather than "temp.001" and
"temp.002"
How material the requirement would be I don't know... certainly, I don't
use this stuff _yet_, but would definitely like to.
