Device ID is set in autorun.sh

[SorraTheOrc]

I'm only just starting to look at the gateway application and I'm not a C# developer so I may be missing something fundamental, but...

Program.cs generates Unique identifier for the device:

string deviceId = Guid.NewGuid().ToString ("N"); // Unique identifier for the device

However, this gets overwritten in autorun.sh:
-deviceid C8CA5B13-A550-4FF0-B823-46D8A2640880

It seems to me that autorun.sh should not set the device ID, otherwise every device in the network will have the same ID. I've verified that running without a DeviceID appears to work (on Windows and in a very limited test environment).

What are the implications of removing that switch from aytorun.sh, that is what is deviceID used for?

The DeviceID is not used in the curent state of the project. It's here as a place holder showing how one could uniquely identify his devices using the a GUID.
