Problem with child D_DigitalSecurityCamera1 devices in .918

Developer's Corner General Dev Discussions

There’s something wrong with D_DigitalSecurityCamera1 devices when created as child devices.

  1. Child cameras can be opened (View Camera button) with no problem from Devices menu, but refuse to do so from Dashboard

  2. System doesn’t recognizes child camera devices as Camera, so they don’t appear in Devices/Cameras, and doesn’t have all the regular camera options.

I’m totally out of ideas…

.939 - still doesn’t work

I just realized that if plugin uses all the same usual D_ device, but being a child device it’s not visible to Vera when it lists its “camera” devices. The parent device is “dummy” device that is simply ignored. Buuug!
