We retrieve current data from the device on every poll, so we will fix the database with reality, so it's not that simple.

You can of course set the right toggle in the DB for the sysLocation override, and then set the overridden location :)

ugh yea that sounds gross. Can you just update it in the DB, or does that get overwritten by the poller?
