How to show "Device Name"

I have some trigger, schedules where I would like to see what devices are being effected. I am trying to identify devices for troubleshooting and I have to go into one then cycle "Next/Prev" to see the detail. For me this seems to be for those devices that use a plugin (hue, denon, airfoil, etc). Maybe I'm missing something when I setup the device that would help.

Re: How to show "Device Name"

This would be an enhancement to the Hue Plugin since the plugin is responsible for that string. Note, however, that if you change the device name after you've last edited the action the old name will still appear - it is not dynamically generated (nor can it be currently).

Re: How to show "Device Name"

Jay, thanks. That explains why it looks like that for all my devices that use plugins.

Re: How to show "Device Name"

Karl, update plugin, closed indigo and restarted. Same, no device names.
Should I add a new device to see if that makes a difference.

Re: How to show "Device Name"

Karl, its working!

device name shows up if I go in and change one of the parameters (saturation, brightness, Etc), save, exit and now I see the device name

Thanks!

You have to edit and save the actions before it will update.
