Hi,

I’m trying to get the name of the triggered device, to use later in a flow. Is that possible at all?  
Example: Philips Hue light called _Livingroom Left_.  
WHEN _Livingroom Left_ TURNED ON → flow-cards… → tag: device-name.  
tag = _Livingroom Left_.

Many thanks!

Yes, use the watch flowcard from Device Capabilities, it has the devicename and id as tokens.

Edit:

Oeps, it not in live yet.

Hang on, i’ll make it ready now and publish it to test.

It’s in test now:  
[Device Capabilities | Homey](https://homey.app/a/nl.qluster-it.DeviceCapabilities/test/)

There is a When card which you can use to select the device and capabilities / field to watch.  
When it get’s triggered/executed, there are the tokens DeviceName and DeviceID.
