Have you signed into System Preferences/iCloud (Apple ID for Catalina)? You need to be using Yosemite or later to appear on the device list. From the article below.


Add a device to the list


To add a device to the list, you need to sign in with your Apple ID. After you sign in on a device with your Apple ID, that device appears in the list. Here's where you need to sign in:

  • For iOS 9 and later, sign in to iCloud, iMessage, FaceTime, the iTunes and App Store, or Game Center on the device. You can also see your paired Apple Watch.
  • For iOS 8, sign in to iCloud or the iTunes and App Store on the device. You can also see your paired Apple Watch.
  • For OS X Yosemite and later or Windows 10 and later, sign in to iCloud on the device. 
  • For tvOS 7 and later, sign in to the iTunes and App Store on the device.
