No need to be noisy, if all goes well, your code should be quiet.

Why do you have this separate list of devices? You don't seem to need
it, you only iterate over it, why is it needed?

You also iterate over the list without the lock, so why even have the
lock? Are you sure the list, and the lock, is even needed?
