RI/Spike Hub Bluetooth ID

[DogMan]

I thought I read somewhere that you can set the Bluetooth ID of the 51515/Spike hub somewhere - is that correct.

if you had more than one hub and they were both turned on how would you easily tell which one was which? Surely you don’t have to remember the MAC address of each hub you have so you can connect to the one you want to?

You can change the name of the hub.

Hi David

 

thanks for the swift response.

I had renamed my hub - several times, in fact, but the Bluetooth ID continued to show as the MAC address.

I had been using my iPad to play around with this, so had a go with my MacBook. When I double clicked on the hub address in the Bluetooth setting dialogue, hey presto,- it replaced the MAC address ID with the name I had used for the hub.

so - not sure if it’s an iPad thing, or what, but I managed to get it to change via the above method.

 

thx
