# suggestedAccessoryName

The name that the framework suggests when the user names the accessory being set up.

```
var suggestedAccessoryName: String? { get set }
```

## Discussion

If this value is `nil`, then the suggested name is taken from the accessory itself. If the user sets up an accessory bridge, then this value only applies to the accessory bridge and not any accessories behind the bridge.
