It would be great to have at the device level configuration parameters the same way we have at the attribute level. Also having the corresponding DEV_CONF_EVENT events.
The most interesting parameter for me would be the 'label'. This way we can show in a client application a "nicer" string. The 'alias' feature is useful but is not enough since many times you want to display the same label for different devices.
Other useful configuration parameter would be the 'description'. I know we already have it as a device property (but it doesn't have events, although changing a description of a device should not be a frequent thing)
