Issues with converting update command to trigger

[Shawn Logan]

Current command:
[sensor_logs]> UPDATE telemetry_log JOIN id_name_update ON telemetry_log.device_id = id_name_update.device_id SET telemetry_log.device_desc = id_name_update.device_desc WHERE telemetry_log.device_desc IS NULL;
(this works)

I would like to create a trigger to do this automatically.
I have tried 100's of possible triggers configurations, all of them ending with a error either 1064 sql syntax or 1442 same table.

table 1 id_name_update
[sensor_logs]> show columns in id_name_update;

+-------------+----------+------+-----+---------+-------+
| device_id | char(50) | NO | PRI | NULL | |
| device_desc | char(50) | YES | | NULL | |
| hum_cal | int(11) | NO | | 0 | |
| temp_cal | int(11) | NO | | 0 | |
+-------------+----------+------+-----+---------+-------+


[sensor_logs]> select * from id_name_update;
