I've always stumbled over this phrase too. While the proposal is a good starting point, I would welcome it if both were possible: adding and creating.

We use the verb "add" pretty consistently through the UI; at the top of the "add" form, the "add" button on the devices list, etc. These all do the same thing. Let's not deviate from that.
