1. A device comprising:
a processing system including a processor; and
a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processing system, facilitate performance of operations comprising:
identifying a plurality of presentation features of each peripheral device of a plurality of peripheral devices associated with a computing device, wherein the plurality of presentation features are adapted to present one of a light, a sound or a vibration locally on each peripheral device of the plurality of peripheral devices;
receiving, responsive to user input, a presentation feature of the plurality of presentation features to obtain a user-selected presentation feature;
associating, responsive to the user input, status information for a peripheral device of the plurality of peripheral devices with the user-selected presentation feature to obtain a user-selected association, wherein the status information comprises a status of the peripheral device, wherein the peripheral device is thereby configured to present the status information, locally on the peripheral device, via the user-selected presentation feature according to the user-selected association;
receiving an update of the status information, to obtain updated status information, for the peripheral device; and
providing the updated status information to the peripheral device, wherein the user-selected presentation feature of the peripheral device is actuated according to the updated status information to provide a presentation of the updated status information via the user-selected presentation feature locally on the peripheral device.
