I’ve got an odd issue where I hide a device, then later it reappears on again.
I’m trying to hide relay masters and some sensors that I don’t need to see in Vera. I’ve got a couple that no matter what I do, the reappear again! It’s only on certain devices, the rest hide and stay hidden.
I’ve tried using command luup.attr_set(“invisible”,“1”,[device id]) and I’ve also tried using the hide drop down menu item in Altui. Initially they disappear but not long after they come back!
Is there some kind of weird setting I’m missing here?
Consider adding the the make and model of the couple of devices that have this undesirable behavior to your post. Then perhaps someone can assist you.
EDIT: See [url=http://forum.micasaverde.com/index.php/topic,16140.msg123117.html#msg123117]http://forum.micasaverde.com/index.php/topic,16140.msg123117.html#msg123117[/url] where Rex Beckett added the commands to the end of Startup Lua.
I did think about it but it didn’t really seem relevant because it’s random, for example, one that keeps reappearing is a 2x fibaro relay, it keeps popping back up showing the master device after I’ve hidden it, I have 6 of these 2x relays and the other 5 have hidden no problem.
The sensor is a vision door / window sensor. Not sure of exact model, it’s a gen5 and it was in the list of devices supported by my Vera plus.
Does that information enable you to help Beaton303?
I’ll find t
Rex Beckett’s issues were with devices related to some (but not all) of his Fibaro modules. Suggest you use his approach for the Fibaro sensors. For the Vision sensor(s), recommend you contact Customer Care at Vera Control.
If you just hide via a lua command, they can re-appear if you get a re-start of your system or just luup.
Add the hide commands to your start up lua to ensure they stay hidden.

That sort of makes sense. All the others stay hidden that were hidden in the same way but if adding it to Luua startup hides the stubborn ones, I’m up for that 
Thanks both! Enjoy your weekend
Quick update, adding it to Luua startup sorted the issue, this morning they are all still hidden.
Odd how some stay hidden without Luua startup and some need it in Luua, think I’ll just default to adding to Luua instead now to be sure.
Thanks again for the tip!
I work to the principle of ‘If it works then don’t worry about why, just do it’
