kdeconnect-cli: Ring a device, specifying its name.
$ kdeconnect-cli --ring --name "${device_name}"
try on your machine

The command "kdeconnect-cli --ring --name "${device_name}"" is used to ring a specific device connected to your computer using KDE Connect.

Here's the breakdown of the command:

  • "kdeconnect-cli": It is the command-line tool for KDE Connect, which allows you to interact with KDE Connect from the terminal.
  • "--ring": This option specifies the action you want to perform, which is to ring or sound an alert on the specified device.
  • "--name "${device_name}"": This option is used to specify the name of the device you want to ring. In this case, "${device_name}" is a placeholder that should be replaced with the actual name of the device you want to ring.

To use this command, you need to replace "${device_name}" with the name of the device you want to ring. For example, if you want to ring a device named "MyPhone", you would run the command as follows:

kdeconnect-cli --ring --name "MyPhone"

This will send a signal to the specified device, causing it to ring or make a sound to attract your attention.
