How do you work out what the name of a particular device is?

[LewisDavie]

I’ve got an iPhone with AbleSet open in the browser. On the phone itself, it’s called ‘Lewis’s iPhone’, and on my router’s settings page it’s listed as ‘iPhone’ in the device list.

I’m trying to run the OSC command /devices/showPage [device-name] setlist, but neither of the above names produce a response. Using the IP address works, but as the session is opened on different networks at different times, I want to use the name instead (which presumably doesn’t change).

How do I find out what a given device’s name is set to? And how do you change those names or tag them as mentioned in the documentation?

Hey @LewisDavie,

You can do this by going to your OSC Settings and setting an OSC Device Name there:

Let me know if this works for you

That’s perhaps the quickest response I’ve ever seen Thank you Leo, that’s done it!
