Connected Devices showing up as wrong device
This may seem nitpicky but it's driving me crazy! With upwards of 30 devices on my network, I have them all named and set up with the proper identifier type...i.e. smartphone, camera, etc. The problem...

With upwards of 30 devices on my network, I have them all named and set up with the proper identifier type...i.e. smartphone, camera, etc. The problem is that several devices are being resolved to the wrong device type. I can change it to be the correct device type but it resets itself in seconds no matter what I do. I have an Alexa decice identifying as a smartphone even though I have others that are correct. I have multiple cameras showing as network devices even though they've been set as cameras many times. If you look, for example, all 5 devices are cameras and have been repeadedly identified as such, but these 2 always revert back immediately even after it says they were updated. I know it's knitpicky, but I keep tight control over what's on my network and this drives me crazy!
