By default, none of my devices had a nickname, but rather showed the hostname in the device list.
I added a nickname to a device, but I cannot remove said nickname to go back to the default behavior. Is nickname, once populated, required?
Hi beanery —
Thanks for reaching out and for your question.
Once a nickname has been added, it isn't possible to go back to not having a nickname.
Jeff C. Would it be possible to get this put on the development list? Seems a bit silly that removing a nickname wouldn't be supported.
RectusRat happy to share the feedback. Since the default state is the hostname, a recommendation, for now, would be to type in the hostname in the nickname field.
Same issue looks like an oversight by eero RectusRat

Guys this is really annoying! We need the ability to remove nicknames so app returns to automatically display of current hostname!
Please help us out.
Hi can we please revisit this feature? Not being able to let Eero detect the hostname changes once a nick was assigned is super frustrating
wangbo223 even faulty
