Renaming device name...
-
@perh said in Renaming device name...:
"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.)
-
Yes, or 1.
-
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.
-
ahhhhhhhh
-
..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.
-
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.
-
I'm still voting +1 on name from zway
-
What problem are you trying to fix by doing this?
-
To rename a bunch of devices from zway, don't want to do it manually one by one in openLuup!
-
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.)
-
it works! thanks
-
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!
-
But for the moment, doing this way, deleting the device from the device table make it easier!
