Nope, flashing the hex file is the correct way of doing things, but if you flashed the hex file and it hasn't renamed itself Espruino NRF52832DK then the flashing hasn't worked.
That'd be why it's not appearing in the IDE anyway. I'm not sure if anyone's had it running on the Thingy yet - it might end up being more difficult than just flashing the DK's file.
