A MAC (or Machine Access Control) address is a globally unique serial number that is given to every device connected to the internet with a network adapter. The network adapter exchanges data with every other device on a network and so it needs an address to identify itself to the other devices. These serial numbers are hardcoded by the manufacturers into the devices they sell. I have many Sonoff devices, mostly basic switches. Once I name a device something I can no longer see the MAC address in the app. I also have several routers and APs. I would like to be able to give the devices a name in the router's database so I can identify which Sonoff is connected to what AP etc. It would be VERY USEFUL and probably very easy to supply the MAC address under device. To find your MAC address, head to Settings General About. Scroll down a bit and you’ll see your MAC address listed as “Wi-Fi Address.” Android. On Android, you can find this information in the Settings app. Pull down from the top of the screen and tap the gear icon or open your app drawer and tap the “Settings” app icon to open it.
