We have been successfully using device_credentials_installer.py.
We have been using the internal UUID of the modem as our device/clientId. However, we'd also like to add a "friendly name" during provisioning (when we upload our CSV).
This is important, as we need to also keep track of our company's serial numbers on these devices, so they can be effectively monitored and integrate with our pre-existing management systems.
I noticed that the CSV that is created ( ref: api.nrfcloud.com/v1 ) does not include a "name" or "friendly name" column.
Instead, the UUID populates as both the Name and the ID (see below) after importing the CSV into the NRF Cloud.
All the various options for device_credentials_installer.py (like using the IMEI and a prefix) all concern replacing the internal UUID, but we'd like to keep using that internal UUID, but add our serial number as a "Friendly Name", so our employees can easily identify units in the NRF Cloud. Afterall, the internal UUID's certainly identify a modem, but we also need to identify the unit they are attached to. Adding our serial number as a prefix to the internal UUID would also be somewhat acceptable, but I can find no option to prefix a UUID that is not replaced with an IMEI.
During provisioning is the ideal time to make this association, but it seems that the resulting provisioning CSV simply doesn't contain that information.
