How to Rename a Sensor or Mobile Device

We recommend renaming your devices with clear, specific names—so you instantly know what a notification means. For example: “Flex Aware 1” is less descriptive than “Backyard Pool Gate”. This allows you to easily identify which sensor or device triggered a notification, e.g. "Backyard Pool Gate was Opened at 4:53pm on Tuesday, April 19th."

We also recommend renaming mobile devices to add clarity to your address book. For example, if multiple iPhones are on an account, renaming "iPhone 2" to "Steve's iPhone" will make it easier to create notifications.
