full devices reset

[DesT]

@akbooer

What's the "logic" behind zway plugin about renaming ? Are you always renaming when starting openLuup ?

[akbooer]

You mean renaming of child devices? My philosophy with any bridge plugin is that you pick up the original names on device creation (and place them in the room created for the bridge.) Thereafter, you should be able to rename them, and move them to a different room, as you wish.

You're saying this is not so?

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...

[DesT]

@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
