Hello,
I'm developing a hardware plugin, using the pTypeGeneralSwitch and pTypeGeneral device types. I would like to store a device serial number for each device, but where should I store this information? Is the solution to store it in a new table in the database, or does a table for this already exist?
I assume that DeviceStatus is not the correct place for this.
The serial number is a 64bit int.
Thanks in advance.

@jbjalling,
The Options field in DeviceStatus is probably the best place. The core Domoticz functionality doesn't do anything (that I know of) with it.
