How to identify a paired zigbee device

Is there a way to identify what a device is called in Homey?

I have more than 5 IKEA Somrig remotes. I’f I find one of them in the wrong place, is there a way to identify if the remote is the one that should be in the bathroom or if it is the one that should be in the kitchen?

But for that to work, I have to create a separate flow for each remote I have?

And login with your Homey credentials

Here you will see all your zigbee and z-wave devices

How do I use the developer tools for this?
If I have all five identical, unmarked and paired remotes lying on the table and pick one at random. How can I see which remote that has been activated?

Edit: corrected spelling.

I am looking for something like

tailf messages | grep zigbee

If you can do it afterwards, it is fine.
I personally preferoöd fashioned early stage preparative work.
When I add a new Tuya zigbee powermetering switch ( I already have 3) I write with a pencil (TZM4, i.e. Tuya Zigbee Meter No4) on it. During or after connecting it to my Homey Pro I (re)name it in the configuration to TZM4.
later, whe I place it to the plug of the washing machine, I just add this function to the name, so it is called then TZM4 washing machine. When I realise I need a better switch for the washing machine and I use this for a hot water boiler, it will be TZM4 water boiler. You can also add something for the place or what you want, but the TZM4 is unique for the device.
Well, when you really mix it up, you have to test,what happens, when you switch it. I am sure if any tool by athom can help you.
Well in Homey Script you can right something like “For all zigbee devices.. Speak loud the name and the flash it 3 times, then wait 5 seconds for the next .. next zigbee device”, if I got the tutorial right. But I never tried Homey Script by myself.

2 minute job:

Not on Homey AFAIK.

Ah, smart using last seen. Didn’t think of that. Thank you.

No matter how technical something is, paper and pen are usually a solution somewhere. Thank you.

Yes, not so much work actually. :).
I will implement it, but I will add a check if variable “troubleshooting”=yes before sending messages to my phone.

Yea, a filter is a plan of course :wink:

I do the same, but add the ID behind the name.
