Devices

Devices is the list of every machine and phone connected to your account - and the place you cut one off. Each row is a device you approved: the workstation running the Director, the machine hosting your Gateway, the phone you paired.

How devices get on the list
You approve every one. When DevThrottle starts on a new machine, it opens your browser to an approval page that names the device and asks you to approve or deny it; phones go through the same idea via pairing. Nothing registers itself silently.
What you can do here
- Rename - give devices names you will recognize later ("desk-pc", "old laptop", "phone"), which matters on the day you need to revoke the right one.
- See how it connects - the device's gateway address, when it was added, and its recent heartbeat.
- Revoke - cut a device's access. A revoked device's key stops working; the device can only come back by going through approval again.
Warning
Lost laptop, stolen phone, machine you sold: revoke it here first. Revocation is the kill switch - it invalidates that device's key without touching your account, your other devices, or your credits.
Note
Revoking a device does not delete anything on it and does not stop programs running on it - it cuts the device's access to your DevThrottle account and its hosted features.
