LAN Clients - Multiple random hostnames for same device

I have the daemon running on my Ubiquiti router. It does very nicely provide Clients under the router device on the website, but I get many, many copies of my devices, particularly Android ones. I can tell they are the same because the MAC and IP don't change, but the hostname seems to change at random intervals.

The devices have hostnames assigned on the device - which does occasionally register in Control-D, but not often.

It also means that when I make new Device for a Client, it only applies rules as long as that Device keeps the same name. The names that Control-D sees are not the same hostnames I see in my DHCP log on my router either - it always sees the hostname I assigned.

Any ideas? Does anyone else get this behaviour?
