Saved devices, locations and rooms

Make names useful to people

Custom display names belong to your saved entry and stay separate from equipment-advertised names. Use clear labels such as Kids Room 3 TV or Main Auditorium Console. Location–room labels distinguish classrooms at different sites without changing network identity.

Organize your list

1. Add or discover a supported device and open Device Details. Save its custom name, location and room.
2. Use the location–room filter to narrow the list. Star devices you return to often or intend volunteers to control.
3. On iPhone in the upcoming build, use the starred-device swipe strip or arrows to switch favorites. Existing compatible remote sessions retain their place.
4. Collapse other/offline listings and use Volunteer Lock when access should be limited to favorites.

Offline does not mean forgotten

Saved equipment can retain model/address/history information while unavailable. A fresh service check is more useful than treating a ping failure as proof of power state. Discovery presence, reachability, paired authorization and successful output are different facts.

Changed addresses

Where a reliable device identity exists, rediscovery can locate a saved device at a new address. Names alone are not proof of identity. Mixers and standalone timer servers may require verifying and updating the saved address manually. Forget only when you intend to remove that local saved configuration; equipment-side authorization may remain.
