Wherever possible, the naming shall be applied as close to the edge as possible, i.e. within the device itself rather than at a gateway device, e.g. an M-Bus meter may not be able to adopt the naming within the meters software itself due to the simplicity of the M-Bus protocol, meaning that a mapping would be required between the meter’s software identifier and the naming convention at a gateway.

## Device/Asset type identification and naming

During early stages of design, or for generic components (/ BIM objects) where `can_be_connected` = False, and there are many instances in the BIM model that do not need individual identification (e.g. cables, data cables, pipework, ductwork, ...); it may be appropriate to give only a type identification of the object.
