A "name" (Net, Host, Gateway, or Domain name) is a text string up to 24 characters drawn from the alphabet (A-Z), digits (0-9), minus sign (-), and period (.). Note that periods are only allowed when they serve to delimit components of "domain style names". (See RFC-921, "Domain Name System Implementation Schedule", for background). No blank or space characters are permitted as part of a name. No distinction is made between upper and lower case. The first character must be an alpha character. The last character must not be a minus sign or period. A host which serves as a GATEWAY should have "-GATEWAY" or "-GW" as part of its name. Hosts which do not serve as Internet gateways should not use "-GATEWAY" and "-GW" as part of their names. A host which is a TAC should have "-TAC" as the last part of its host name, if it is a DoD host. Single character names or nicknames are not allowed. - ## Topic, GroupTopic, and FallBack Topic Initially I had one MQTT configurable topic planned called TOPIC but soon found out that when two sonoffs come online with the same topic this would be a challenge at least... @@ -28,3 +29,6 @@ BTW changing TOPIC can be done online using the fallback topic and is only neede - To stop saving power changes only to Flash or Spiffs use command ```SetOption0 off```.
