invisible device

Community Playground Getting Started & Initial Setup
1

With system info plugin I can see my devices and I have a device invisible
it is a fibaro children who disappeared at once
it works well with the parent driver and third logiciles but the display in the vera is no longer possible
status in a 1 vera.xml invisible
I would like to change its status visible (invisible = 0) but I do not know what the config file vera stores this parameter

someone would edit any file to fix this problem

if I deliver a 4 day old backup it works but I did a lot of mod and I’d try not to redo everything

So with winscp it should be feasible to change this status right?

thank you

Delete the parent device … It will delete it’s children … Then add the parent back … It will create it’s children.

If you want to learn MCV Javascript library … I am sure you can find and change the variable directly … and set the invisible property to NULL.

The referenced LINK has a description by @mcvflorin … That’s probably the easiest solution.

It also has a reference to:
[url=http://wiki.micasaverde.com/index.php/ModifyUserData]http://wiki.micasaverde.com/index.php/ModifyUserData[/url]

The JavaScript API is at:
[url=http://wiki.micasaverde.com/index.php/JavaScript_API]http://wiki.micasaverde.com/index.php/JavaScript_API[/url]
Very little documentation, but using a JavaScript Debugger you can step through some similar operations to see how mcv uses it.

All of these solutions require more than a casual level of understanding of the Vera implementation details.

Hi, I hope someone is still following this thread as it has been a long time.

I found this in my logs:

02 12/12/13 22:00:33.103 e[33;1mZW_Send_Data node 3 NO ROUTE (nil)e[0m <0x2c35d680>

So I wanted to find which device was causing it thinking that may have something to do with misterious Vera Restarts, so I found this in http://my_vera_ip:3480/data_request?id=user_data&output_format=xml

<device id="2" device_type="urn:schemas-micasaverde-com:device:SceneController:1" room="0" id_parent="1" embedded="0" disabled="0" device_file="D_SceneController1.xml" impl_file="" manufacturer="" model="" altid="1" ip="" mac="" time_created="1382723010" category_num="14" subcategory_num="0" local_udn="uuid:4d494342-5342-5645-0040-000002161a6c" name="_Scene Controller" invisible="1">

As I only have one scene controller, and does not have child devices, and this is not the device, I decide to try and delete it. First I unhide it using:

luup.attr_set("invisible","", 2)

It worked and show the device in the GUI, then I was able to delete it.

I restart the engine and UI and the device disappeared successfully, but in a couple of seconds, Lup engine restarted by itself and readd the device, again in hidden mode, now I have:

<device id="64" device_type="urn:schemas-micasaverde-com:device:SceneController:1" room="0" id_parent="1" embedded="0" disabled="0" device_file="D_SceneController1.xml" impl_file="" manufacturer="" model="" altid="1" ip="" mac="" time_created="1386915225" category_num="14" subcategory_num="0" local_udn="uuid:4d494342-5342-5645-0040-000002161a6c" name="_Scene Controller" invisible="1">

It only changed its id and time_created (of course). But why is it there? And why, if it is needed and Vera recreates it, has communication problems? Is it a real device? a Child device?? Hope someone can give me a clue.

Do not do this! This is Vera’s scene controller! The are other posts about this.

Oops… thanks. But why does it make noise in the log if it is Vera’s?
