Did you know that you can name your mobile devices in the abode system? Doing so can help you understand who, or what, triggered a specific event.
In recent releases, we’ve added additional data to each timeline event that shows how the event was triggered. If you see a 5-digit code next to your events, this is the ID of your phone in the abode system. By changing this ID, you will get more informative timeline events as shown in the example below.
Mobile App
- Open and log into the abode mobile app
- Navigate to “Actions” on the bottom left
- Click on “CUE automations”
- Click “+ create new”
- Click the “+” icon in to the right of “when this trigger happens”
- Click the “+” icon to the right of “Phone Location”
- Swipe left over the device you would like to identify
- You will be presented with three options to the right
- Click “Identify”
- A notification will be sent to each mobile device you identified letting the owner know which number their device is associated with
- Once you identify which device is associated with each number, you can proceed to naming them
- Click “Rename” in that menu to the right and enter the new name for the device
- Click “Continue”
- Repeat for each device as necessary
- Your devices should now be correctly named in your automations menu and in your timeline
- You may continue creating an automation or click “Discard Creation” at the bottom right of the screen. Either way, your device names will still be saved
