The procedure of getting the DeviceID is a PITA I know but I can't see a better way of doing it.
As far as I'm aware the DeviceID sent by geofencing applications is not available for the user to view from within the respective device so the only way to get it is to send a test transmission.
I did discuss with Randy about having the plug-in store "heard" DeviceID's from which the user then chooses one when adding a new root device but this wouldn't really help because these apps don't send the device name or anything else that can easily be used to identify the device. If you had more than 1 DeviceID in the heard list, then there would no way to identify which ID belonged to which device.
