Renames a device in two places: its asset name in Wendy Cloud, and its hostname (and mDNS .local name) on the device itself. A single name is applied to both.

wendy device rename [name]

Without a [name] argument, an interactive prompt asks for one, prepopulated with wendyos- as a starting point. The hostname is set literally — no wendyos- prefix is added for you.

Name rules

The name must be a valid DNS label:

  • starts with a lowercase letter
  • contains only lowercase letters, digits, and hyphens
  • does not end with a hyphen
  • is at most 63 characters
  • wendy device unpin <host> — clear a device identity pin keyed by the old name

Push Agent

Developer / diagnostic tool. This command is hidden from wendy device --help. It is not part of the normal update workflow.

Set Default

Selects a device as the default device, so that other commands default to this device if available.
