Vera PushOver notification with image

Does anyone have a quick way to delete multiple devices without having to do a reload between each delete? I have about 20 child devices to get rid of and it will take forever to delete them all one by one with a reload in between.

Wish I could offer something easy here, but in my experience, deleting multiple goes wrong too often.

But, you might try dropping this automated delete script into startup Lua. Don't forget to remove it when the work is done...

-- Put the device numbers of the devices you want to delete in here:
deleteDevices = { 9991, 9992, 9993 }

function postDeleteReload()
    luup.reload()
end
luup.log( "Running Startup Lua Device Deleter", 2 )
for _,d in ipairs( deleteDevices ) do
    if luup.devices[d] then
        luup.log( "Startup Lua Device Deleter found " .. tostring(d) .. ", deleting...", 2 )
        luup.call_action( "urn:micasaverde-com:serviceId:HomeAutomationGateway1",
            "DeleteDevice", { DeviceNum=d }, 0 )
        luup.call_delay( "postDeleteReload", 30 )
        break
    end
end

When your Vera stops reloading, the script has deleted all of the devices and you can remove it from Startup Lua. It's meant to be slow (long delay) to give you time to get in and disable the script if it goes wrong and runs indefinitely (it shouldn't, but there's a reason skydivers have reserves).

Going to try this, hopefully it works

Didn't think this one through.. all the devices were hidden so now I am playing the guessing game for when its done lol

You got it figured out, but the benefit of future readers: just wait for the reloads to stop. If it goes longer than two minutes without a reload, it's done.
