Hidden Device

Hi,

I recently got a Mimolite for my garage door. I got it all set up but after some tweaking it disappeared.
I spent the next few hours trying to Include it back into my network but nothing worked.
I later was messing with my Home Wave app and saw that my garage door device was in the list of installed devices.
I checked a few more apps and even the Micasaverde mobile website and the device was listed there too!
But when I goto the micasaverde website to configure my network, the garage device doesn’t show up.

Is there a way either through ssh or something else that I can remove this hidden device or edit some file to make it viewable again?

Thanks
Nelson

I researched it and managed to delete the device using “http://192.168.1.111:3480/data_request?id=device&action=delete&device=84” and now the device shows up in the device list as an Appliance Module, but no matter if I try to delete it or configure it, it just dissapears again.
Is there anything else I can try?

Same here in my VeraLite 1.7.513 , I have deleted successfully the FGS211 module but the 2 appliance modules still showup in the device list.

When I delete these 2 appliance modules using http://192.168.x.x:3480/data_request?id=device&action=delete&device=y , they are deleted but recreated with a higher number of device #… and so on as per the output of http://192.168.x.x:3480/data_request?id=user_data&output_format=xml

Unless you exclude a Z-Wave module from your Z-Wave network it will keep coming back whenever Vera restarts.

Thanks Rex , it worked

EDIT : I made a mistake somewhere because the 2 appliances modules “e2” are still there ( the “e1” ones are “invisible” at the FGS211 inclusion).
What i did to have them invisible is to execute the luup command luup.attr_set(“invisible”, "1″,device#) in the Lua startup file.

One of these 2 “e2” appliance modules was successfully marked as invisible but the second was automatically recreated with a higher number of device … and so on .
So I removed the 2 luup commands from the startup lua file

  1. sounds like you need to execute the command only once because the first appliance module “e2” is still “invisible” ( ok it is what i wanted) after removing the luup command from the startup lua file.
  2. I do not know why the second appliance module “e2” is recreated automatically when the luup command is fired.

Rexx,

You can un-hide a device by using:

luup.attr_set("invisible","",123)

Replace 123 with the device number. You can just run this in Apps → Develop apps → Test Luup code (Lua).

In UI5 it was necessary to set the invisible attribute on each restart - hence the commands needed to go into Startup Lua. It may not be the same on UI7.

Thanks Rexx,

I was able to hide the remaining “appliance module e2” by running the luup command …luup.attr_set(“invisible”,“1”,123) … from Apps → Develop apps → Test Luup code (Lua).

I can confirm that this is ok in UI7 and it is not required to add this luup command in the startup lua file … a hidden improvement in UI7 !
