Manufacturer name vs device brand name

I am a new user (installed yesterday) I still have two alarms for devices that have used a manufacturers name rather than the branded name.  I was able to find one by googling, it was a Nest doorbell.  I still have two devices one by Wistron Neweb Corp and Murata Manufacturing Co.  I am not sure what data you are looking at to determine the device type but is there some sort of cross-reference that can be created to show the brand (a recognizable name) rather than the manufactures name?

  We are working on that.  To determine the name of the device requires many many steps/predictions, and at times need a bit learning.  So some device we know immediately what they are, some we may know their name if we hear that, and the later part takes a bit time.  Of course, there are the prediction algorithms ...  which runs in our cloud.

  You should check with the Eero people.  They seem to have done it.

  Eero also is the DHCP server, it is pretty easy for them to get the name.  When it powers on, everyone DHCP, and eero get the name.  Firewalla, we power on, we have to sit there and listen ... that's why it may be slow ...   One day ... i wish Firewalla turns into a router :)
