Delete Device Variable

Plugins & Plugin Development DSC Alarm System
1

The partition device associated with my DSC alarm panel is showing two LastUser variables some how. When the alarm system is set, it uses the original variable. When I try to get LastUser, it reads the new one.

Is there a way to delete just the variable without removing the alarm panel and adding it back in. The DSC plugin creates all the child devices. and weird things happen when you delete devices in Ui7. Scenes disappear from the list but actions still seem to happen associated with those scenes. I guess that is a whole nuther thread…

There’s no way to Delete it from the UI.

If you’re comfortable with file-based surgery, it can be edited out of the JSON file… but it requires a lot of care before embarking down that part.

If you “hover” the mouse over the Label of each, what ServiceId is being shown?

ie. Are they exactly the same, including Upper/Lowercase, or are they different?

I’ve not seen Vera do this before, and it’s possible there’s a bug in UI7 that needs to be fixed by the MCV team. It could happen again if the RC isn’t found/fixed.

They look to be identical. I spent all kinds of time trying to figure out why my keyfob scenes and other things related were broke. Thanks for the tip and I will take a look at the file. I shouldn’t have much issue with fixing it there. I’ll make a copy and make a back up just in case I take the wrong one out. It has to be some sort of bug because I haven’t added any custom variables yet.
