Phantom/child sub devices

How do I tell which one is the real device?
The new one just appeared.

Hello @BillC,

Do you mean the Laundry sensor?

Yes. It duplicates devices on its on periodically

Hello @BillC,

Thank you.

These are child devices necessary for the proper functioning of your motion sensor. They may occasionally appear in the interface of your MiOS app, but once configured as hidden, they will disappear.

How do I hide them?

On the Vera UI7 web interface you can add some code to the startup LUA to hide devices.

First find the device ID of the device you want to hide, you can see the device ID by going into the Advanced area of the device.

Or you can use this URL to list all the devices on a single page.

http://192.168.0.101:3480/data_request?id=invoke

Change the IP address to what ever your Vera hubs IP address is.

On the main menu in Vera UI7 go to Apps - Develop Apps - Edit Startup Lua

Here is a screen shot of mine

You need to add a line of code like this

luup.attr_set("invisible","1",157)

Change “157” to your device ID you want to hide.

Once the controller has reloaded the engine that device will then be hidden from the UI’s.

As for Ezlo firmware hubs, I am not aware of a way to hide devices from the UI.

@JonathanB Is it possible to hide devices on an Ezlo firmware hub? Like we can on a Vera firmware hub.

Hello @cw-kid

Unfortunately, no. It is not currently possible to manually hide devices from the UI on an Ezlo firmware hub, as this setting is automatically configured based on each device’s specific characteristics.
