Where Used Functionality?
-
Hello All -
I'm still working on moving dozens of devices from Vera (internal Reactor) to HASS and (external - bare metal) Reactor.
One thing I've noticed is sometimes I move a few ZWave/Vera devices and find myself digging through rules finding where a device was used. Has anyone found a good way to do this?
I plan on digging in to this thread but thought I'd check to see if there's anything more recent.

I have the rules migrated and running on the external Reactor (doing some tweaking as you mentioned). That's not my issue.
My issue is I'm now starting to exclude some devices from Vera and adding them to HASS. For the most part, I've been successful in knowing where the device is used in my ruleset. However, on a few occasions, I've forgotten / missed some rules.
It would be great to look up an entity in MSR and see where it's used (either in rules or reactions) so I can account for the myriad places some devices exist.

I've had this before too. Something has triggered (or not) .Being able to look up where it is present without going through all the rules would have been great. MSR has a great recent history and warnings now to help, but especially when changing things and you want to be sure you have caught everywhere things were defined.
This was last in vera for me but i'm sure it will happen again as I rebuild everything and my rules become more linked together.Aside from search for this, When opening nested/closed rules in the UI, the reactions don't show without clicking edit. It does make it quite hard to open a few rules to have a quick glance at the trigger and reaction.
I might be missing something, but it would be great to be able (even if an option to turn this on or off) to also see the reactions when opening a rule to check it contains what you think it should, or when quickly comparing similar rules too.
