It usually seemed to work fine for a while after setting it up, but then, later, the difficulties would arise.
That tried on several different PC's (and both of Win 7 and Win 8) and I have given up on it. Your experience may be better.
As far as I can see, from my own experience, the only reliable way to go is along the lines as theducks has suggested but, of course, being all manual each time one wants to update it, it is not as convenient as something automatic.

AC you list a single device.
Others device list looks like a Sears catalog
You can always make a Device column (tags of fixed value?) and use the current Ondevice status to set a tag (remove the old tag beforehand)
