If you change the name of a device in the ST app when should I see the change in webcore so I can modify the pistons? Or is the the wrong way of making this kind of change?
Change Device Names in ST App

I usually see them when I reload the page. If you’re editing a piston, exit out and go back to the main screen then go back and edit the piston. Usually the changes are visible by that point. YMMV though…internet speed, latency, etc…

After renaming the device, open up webCoRE in the ST app then tap through Settings > Available devices and contacts > Available devices then press Done (no need to reselect the device or change any selections). This will signal the dashboard to reload its stored devices. The next time you load up the dashboard it will have the correct device name; it is no longer necessary to log out and back in.
Important note: if you used the device in any expressions (e.g. [Hall Light : switch] format) those expressions will no longer work! You will need to edit and save changes to any pistons that use the renamed device in expressions. This does not affect the device dropdown which tracks the device by ID rather than name, so you should see the new name across all your pistons.
