New PGN Proposed - Node Name Request - 0x1FED6

Proposed:

NODE_NAME_REQUEST PGN 0x1FED6

The purpose of this PGN is to facilitate manufacturers in building a cross reference table of their own or other manufacturers' devices without using a global request for Address Claim. Only nodes whose Manufacturer Code matches the 11 bit value in bytes 0-1 should respond.

I am good with it. It looks handy to find all nodes for a manufacturer without the congestion of pinging a global name request. David Bailey

This looks good to me. Since support is not mandatory, it really is only useful for working with your own nodes. But I can see a number of applications where it would be useful for a manufacturer to take a census like this.

Looks good. David
