Permanent hub name

[JFC-Dev]

I am using Hass.io in a Docker container. I got my Wyze hub detected using the "device: auto" setting in the confiuration.yaml. I am still new to HA and learning but I figured it might be even better if I set a permanent name for the Wyze hub instead of using auto.

So I modified /etc/udev/rules.d/usbcustom.rules and added
SUBSYSTEM=="hidraw", ATTRS{idVendor}=="1a86", ATTRS{idProduct}=="e024", SYMLINK+="wyze_hub"

I applied the new configuration
sudo udevadm trigger

And I verified that the name was set to wyze_hub
ls -l /dev/wyze_hub gave me /dev/wyze_hub -> hidraw0

Then I changed configuration.yaml for
device: "/dev/wyze_hub"

Then I rebooted my server (I wanted to make sure the name would still work after a reboot).

ls -l /dev/wyze_hub gave me /dev/wyze_hub -> hidraw0 so it seemed to work. However HA would not see my Wyze sensors anymore and I had no wyzesense*. in Services.

I changed the configuration.yaml to auto and restarted HA (I didn't reboot the server) and everything was working again.

I am wondering what I did wrong. It is definately not a problem since it is working fine with auto but I thought it would have been better to use /dev/wyze_hub.
