  2. Select your desired location from the map or table view
  3. Under your desired location, browse to the table view and click on your device.
  4. Select the configuration (gear/cog) icon for the sensor/device/appliance.


  5. In the sensor/device/appliance editor, locate the name field and change your name as you wish.


  6. Save your changes when done. Changes take effect immediately.



NOTE: If you are moving a sensor to a different type of machine or appliance (like moving a sensor from a fridge to a freezer or visa versa), you will want to update your (temperature) alerts to reflect the appliance the sensor is now in.
