Missing hostname or device ID in APIs #33

Description

@albaintor

Actually while using mdns discovery you can get the hostname of the remote as a unique ID in the format RemoteTwo-.local

But there this info cannot be retrieved using APIs

The use case is the following : adding the remote two to Home assistant (not the HA integration driver, but add the RC2 to home assistant to control it from HA)

  1. Detect devices through mdns
  2. User can select one of them or if not detected properly he will submit the IP address or hostname directly
  3. The integration will store the new device information BUT will check before if the device does not already exist
    **=> problem we don't have any available device ID (serial number, hostname or mac address) to distinguish devices

The hostname and/or serial number and/or mac address should be added to remote API /pub/version of /pub/* to avoid unnecessary authentication

Thank you
