# Naming or Renaming Sensors

All BarnTalk sensors have the unique ability to be personalized to your farm's needs. This includes naming individual sensors. 

#### Renaming your BarnTalk Gateway and Sensors: ([Video](http://flowcode.com/p/O7TTFVrwT?fc=0) ~ 1 minute)

Step 1: To name your sensors, open the **BarnTalk app** and choose the gateway you want to customize.

Step 2: Click on the individual **sensor tile** to open that sensors information.

Step 3: At the top, you will see the current name of the sensor. Click on the **three dots** (top right)by the nameand a screen will pop up that prompts you to customize the sensor's name.

Step 4: **Click save** and then you're done with that sensor! Repeat the same steps for the rest of your sensors as needed.
