Please Show Circuit Number on Graph Screen

[Pragmatist]

When viewing the Graph screen for a specific circuit the only way to find that same circuit in “Manage Devices” is by the name you assigned it (which is truncated as well.) With many similar names and having only the first few characters to go by, matching it with the same circuit in Manage Devices” is often difficult. During setup it takes many trips to Manage Devices before everything is properly named.

It would also be very helpful to shown the circuit number on the Home Panel. “Managing Devices” by name is very difficult especially where they are similar & sometimes truncated.

If I understand. Might you achieve what you want by identifying Circuit # in the name? Ex If Lights are on circuit #3 and #7, name them 3Lights, 7Lights.

Yes, that’s what I’m doing now but the space for circuit names is already quite limited (20 or so?) so doing it this way leaves even less space for the actual name.

Most of my circuits cover several rooms or areas so even with abbreviations I quickly run out of nameing space.

Here’s some samples of my nameing:

4 Lt: Thtr, Bed D, Stor Rm
12 Out: DR FP, WC, Keurig

The Circuit number uses up 2 or 3 characters and “Lt: ” or “Out: ” use another 4 or 5 so I lose as many as 8 characters per name.

There is room on the Home Screen to show the Circuit Number in the far left column and the “Lt:” and “Out:” could be replaced with an icon if lights & outlets were added as new Circuit Types.
