full devices reset

[DesT]

I think, from my point of "use", I will prefer that each time you change the name from the original device (z-way) with the room, so a full "sync" each time.

I just got an issue this weekend. I think that my RaZberry board died and I recover from an old UZB stick with a old backup and when I reload openLuup it reconnect to zway but mixed some device, maybe 'cause of the device ID!

In the kitchen, I got a dimmer named "Master Bedroom" and didn't know why but I think that the Master Bedroom dimmer was using this ID before...

So I think it will prefer a full sync for the name and room coming from zway bridge. So each time I do some renaming or replacing a device, openLuup will always be in sync!

This it how it works in my system, all changes regarding name and room is done in Z-Way. I have set variables "CloneRooms =1" and "NameDevices = "" " (probably equals to false, not sure what this one does)

"NameDevices = "" " (probably equals to false, not sure what this one does)

In fact, if you set this variable to 1 or true, then the device names will be copied from ZWay. The default is simply not to do this.

(It's a difference in philosophy – I don't name any devices in ZWay, but all done in openLuup.)

@PerH

Already having the same config but I think the "sync" is only done are creation time not everytime...

@akbooer Ohh that mean I need to put "true" for NameDevices ?

[akbooer]

Yes, or 1.

[akbooer]

Actually, it seems that I lied...

...I've just checked the code and the device name update is not implemented. I recall, now, that I did look at it and stopped because, rather surprisingly, it seemed too hard to do at the time.

[DesT]

ahhhhhhhh

[PerH]

..And i was certain it was allready implemented!
I've just assumed, as rooms are controlled by z-way here.. And i've been good at keeping names correct in both, so i didn't see that it wasn't happening!

More options is better but sometimes it can lead to more confusion.... I am partial to @akbooer approach... Set it up in openLuup rather than in z-way. It comes down to which one is easier to setup and which database is more reliable and from my observation, it is a flush so I prefer the openLuup route.

[PerH]

I've chosen to lett all source systems set as much as possible (Z-Way, Domoticz), and let mirror devices be just that.. No big caveats to either approach though.

[DesT]

I'm still voting +1 on name from zway

[DesT]

@akbooer Is there a way to flush all device from zway to force a kind of "get all devices again", ?

[akbooer]

What problem are you trying to fix by doing this?

[DesT]

To rename a bunch of devices from zway, don't want to do it manually one by one in openLuup!

[akbooer]

Have you tried just deleting the devices in question and reloading?

(easy to delete a bunch of devices quickly from the console Devices Table page.)

[DesT]

it works! thanks

[akbooer]

Glad to hear it!

I just looked at the code again, and indeed there's a NameDevices variable, which currently does absolutely nothing. I know that I looked at this several times and threw my hands up in disbelief at how hard it was going to be... but I can't remember why!

[DesT]

But for the moment, doing this way, deleting the device from the device table make it easier!
