New device automatic categorization in the app is flawed

I loved the Eero app until the most recent update to build 3.0.2 (1501). The new device categorization scheme is flawed. In working with tech support, I learned that the automatic categorization looks for specific words in the hostname or eero nickname you give it. For example, to get my son’s Pixel3 to categorize properly, I had to add the word “phone” to its eero nickname.  Easy enough, but others are more challenging. For example, our Yamaha A/V receiver is stuck in the “Other” category. According to tech support, I can add the words "TV" "Cable" or "DVR" to the eero nickname, but none of those apply to the Yamaha. I asked tech support for a list of keywords used by the app to auto categorize, but they could not provide it. To make things worse, the automatically-categorized devices do not appear alphabetically within each category. I thought they might be listed in the order of most recent network activity or heaviest traffic, but that does not appear to be the case.

I don’t mind having the auto-categorization as an option because some people may like it, but we have 30-40 devices connecting to our network at any one time and you should be able to disable the categorization or at least override the automatically-assigned categories.

Thanks for considering this as a Feature Request.
