Device Model

[hjloer]

Hello,

Does somebody know how i can change the Device Model field in the My devices overview?

I tried several things. I’ve made a Metadata field Device Model type text but this field is apparently not used in de device overview (see screenshot).

BLYNK_CONNECTED() {
  Blynk.sendInternal("meta", "set", "Device Model", "ESP32-WROOM-32");
  Blynk.sendInternal("meta", "set", "Serial Number", "Test1234");
}

I also tried this code. Serial Number works but Device Model not.

Hans.

I tried but the only thing that works is to change the serial number.

I created a metadata entry called “meta_test”, which was allocated ID 9 (visible in the right hand column of the Template view. Calling the get metadata API… https://blynk.cloud/external/api/device/meta?token=REDACTED&metaFieldId=9 returns this: {"type":"DeviceReference","selectedDeviceId":21322} I eventually realised that metadat…

This is something we can’t get rid of right now, but it will be solved in 2-3 months

Ok. So i can stop trying.

Thank you.

Hopefully there will be an update soon.

@hjloer as quick fix you can try “Model” - it will work. I’ll add “device model” as well. But this is all just temp fixes, until we provide “constructor” for this view.

Tested … and it works!
