How can I add *devices* (not Sensors) and then using the OID String for the name (instead of manualy put insert the name)?

Hello,

I'm afraid this is not possible from within PRTG. You could however setup as script which request this OID from the particular target and then uses the PRTG API to change the device name. The call for this would be the following.

Change properties of objects:

/api/setobjectproperty.htm?id=id_of_object&name=property_name&value=new_value

(Help under "Setup"->"PRTG API" in your own PRTG).

best regards.
