0.5.8

• #76 create hash from device name, because device id is the same if using aditionalNames config or button device

Please make sure to remove all your existing devices first, as the device ids have changed. After the update your existing devices won’t work from Alexa anymore. I found that

1. removing every device from alexa.amazon.com
2. deleting the echo-database
3. restarting pimatic
4. let Alexa scan for devices and start device discovery settings -> devices

With this update you can remove, move and add new devices without Alexa losing any devices anymore. Be aware that you must not change the devices name, otherwise the device will be lost from Alexa, because the device id is based on the name. So with a different name, the id changes too.
