I bought one device called Palovue Linkflow. It was so good that I bought a second one. When I tried to pair with it, I got an error message from tdebluez, that the name already exists.
This seems to be, because we use the Name and not the Alias, but the factory default is that both are equal. So we have to change the code in such a way, that:
in tdebluez we use the Alias and
if there is already a device with such a name (Alias), it would rename the newly added device to something like #2
Steps to reproduce
have two devices of same brand/model - they should have the same factory default name
pair one of them - device should appear in the list with its default name
pair the second device - this results is an error that device is already in the list
