Disabling/removing "extra" devices?

[tunnus]

I only need (current) temperature device. Is it possible to disable/delete other devices (e.g. humidity)? If I try to use Vera's "delete device" functionality, devices are removed but are later regenerated.

I have Vera Edge with the latest firmware, UI7, and plugin version 1.58

I think that the best you can do is simply hide those devices which are of no interest.  Being child devices of the weather plugin, they are not consuming significant resources.

Ok, I wasn't worried about resource comsumption, but those extra devices are clogging UI. So how do you hide a device?

I don't use UI5/7 these days, so I don't know if there's an easier way, but it's a simple one-liner to run in the Lua Test window.

Code: [Select]

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

I think I'll try to run that lua command, but before that, there seems to be a disable option in device's advanced settings (see attachment), would that work?

No.  disable is not the same thing... its purpose is to disable plugins.
