    Switch Character Length Still Limited to 8 Characters

    I am running the Classic:


    AOS Version
    4.53_AB17

    Then, using the local web page, I use:

    Configuration [Menu] -> Probe/Input Setup [Menu Item]
    Or this page: http://10.0.0.192/probes.sht

    Then, I select a probe, such as Temperature.

    Under probe name, I attempt to enter the name, Temperature. However, I am cut off at 8 characters.

    Is anyone else experiencing this?

    Thanks.

    Since you are using the Classic Dashboard, and not APEX Fusion in this case, your thread should be in the Classic Dashboard or in the Apex Classic controller forum, not the Apex Fusion forum. I will move it for you. Prior to starting a new thread, please review the full list of sub-forums on the main page, then choose the most suitable sub-forum for the topic of your intended new thread. This helps keep the overall forum better organized, and makes it easier to someone later to find the answer to a past question. Thanks!

    Input names (probes, switch inputs, optical sensors, flow sensors, etc) are limited to 6 characters, not 8.
    Please do not send me PMs with technical questions or requesting assistance - use the forums for Apex help. PM me ONLY if the matter is of a private or personal nature. Thanks.

    I actually tried both methods. I cannot get it to work using either one. If you'd like, I can post my approach using both ways.

    Though I actually read something about an earlier firmware that changed this?
