At the same time the ability to change name is sich a godsend.

We're currently abusing it to have presence info straight in the display name (e.g. mike-2/12~16vac.) to let anyone contacting us what to expect for response times, or wether to ask for a task if it's a few days before a planned vacation.

Nobody seemed to look at the actual status property and it beats going to the calendars to check.

Looks like mike-2 is a robot powered by a doorbell transformer.

He'd probably be fine with that perception.
