I think if it would be possible to trigger re-fresh of status, then that would be great. But the "hack" stuff I think is best to leave out of the module..

Set-TDSensor -NewName can not be used to delete the name (set it to blank) ?!

Seems you're right. I can't get the API explorer to clear the name of a sensor either. If I post a empty value using the Telldus Live! web page it does set the name of the sensor to "(no name)", but as soon as a I refresh the page the old name is back.
So not entirely sure it's possible to clear the name, or I've misunderstood something.
What would be the use case of that?

It's no big deal anyway. I like to have ignored sensors with no name
In my case it's about the fact that some of my sensors get a new ID when I change batteries. The old sensor ID hangs in there (in Telldus Live sensorlist) for a long time before it's removed due to lack of new readings. For such old sensors I prefer to set Ignore on, set history off and also set a blank name. I'd like to automate that process. Anyway I can do it all manually on web-site, but not via AutomatD (ignore and history works fine, but not the blank name thing). The solution will be setting the name to 'something' other than an empty string, I guess
