See Type (driver name), Source (system or user driver), Device Network ID, and Last Activity at a glance, or select Device Detail (the device name or label) to edit or view detailed information about each device. At the top of the page there are options to add new devices or search for a device by one of the above attributes.
Device View Styles
To change the view type between List style and Grid style, select the appropriate icon at the top right on the Devices page.
Devices page
The Devices page in list view, shows a complete list of all of the devices in your system. It displays Name, Type, Source, Device ID, Status and Last Activity at a glance. Press on the device name to view Device Detail. You will be able to edit or view detailed information about each device.
- Name (A) - The device name or custom device label
- Type - (B) The type of device (dimmer, motion sensor, etc.)
- Source (C) - System built in driver or user created driver
- Device Network ID (D) - This is the reference used by the controller for real devices, and by apps for virtual devices
- Last Activity (E) - The date/time of the last registered activity of the device
![The devices are sorted in a list view by, [A] the device name column, [B] the device type column, [C] the driver source column, either built-in or user provided, [D] the device network ID column, and [E] the date and time of the last device activity](https://docs.hubitat.com/images/a/a6/Devices_2.2.4.png)
Disable Device Drivers
Rather than removing a device driver you suspect may be causing an issue with your hub, you can simply disable it to see if the problem is resolved.
- Select the X at the top right to reveal the Disable check boxes.
- Enabling the checkmark in the box to the left of the device name is a fast and simple way to troubleshoot custom device drivers you suspect may be affecting the performance or operation of your hub.
- Remove the checkmark from the Disable checkbox to re-enable the device driver.
- Select the red X to hide the Disable checkboxes from view.
- NOTE: The disable check boxes will remain visible after a page refresh or when leaving and returning to the Devices page. The X will also remain red when any of the boxes has a checkmark.
