Device unique id parameter

[leikoilja]

Let's find a way to extract a unique ID from homegraph or eureka endpoint to pass it for each of devices

I was taking a look at GHLAPI to see which element would fit our needs. And I think the best options are:

• cloud_device_id: which may not be the best option, since it seems a pretty private ID, so a copy-paste from the log may show up this info.
• public_key: may be a good option, states that it's public, so there won't be any privacy issues, and I believe it should be unique, but it might be a bit too large.
• ssdp_udn: Not sure what this is
• uma_client_id: Not sure what this is

There's also the AppDeviceID option, which seems to be unique.

What do you think would be the best option?

cloud_device_id sounds good. Or just mac_address, that's a common practice.

Good investigation, @ArnyminerZ 🙌
AppDeviceID does not seem to be unique thou.
Seems like both cloud_device_id and mac_address are present in eureka endpoint, so both seems to be legitimate options. I am in favour of mac_address thou.

I'd also go for mac_address, seems more private and less hackable.
