[PLUG] RPi firmware disregards host name change,

[Chuck Hast]

Folks,
I am using an RPi (several actually) to monitor solar powered sites. The
charge controller,
power shunts and other items talk to the RPi and it gathers it all for
viewing and control.

The devices are made by Victron, the firmware is a variant of Linux called
VenusOS.

The issue is all of these devices give a network ID of raspberrypi2. That
is OK on a
mobile home or boat where you will have a solar power system and a small
network,
but in this case we have multiple mesh node sites that are solar powered,
and all of
the RPi devices have a hostname of  raspberrypi2.

I have gone in and changed the hosts, hostname, and saved both of them.
After a
reboot both show the new name but the machine still replies to raspberrypi2
as the
hostname.

I have looked all through the code but cannot find where it is being
overroad,
any ideas?

Here is the web site for the code:
https://github.com/victronenergy/venus

I have found the Victron great to be very good and providing open source
code for
the RPi to control solar power sites is a big plus.

Best Regards
