CLIPSensors must be visible to the user? [improvement]

mattreim commented 6 months ago

Does the issue really belong here?

[X] I definitively want to report a bug within deCONZ or its REST-API

Is there already an existing issue for this?

[X] I have searched the existing issues and there is none for the bug at hand

Describe the bug

These CLIPSensors must be visible to the user? They are actually only intended for internal processing and not for external processing.

Or can you get your own folder? (e.g. FakeSensors;)

Steps to reproduce the behavior

Sensor list

Expected behavior

No FakeSensors to see

Environment

Host system: (Raspberry Pi / PC / NAS / MAC)
Running method: (Raspbian / Ubuntu / Home Assistent deCONZ Add-on / Marthoc Docker container / Windows / Virtual Machine)
Firmware version: (26xxyy00)
deCONZ version (not Home assistant Addon version!): (2.xx.yy)
Device: (ConBee I / ConBee II / ConBee III / RaspBee I / RaspBee II)
Do you use an USB extension cable: (yes / no) -- only relevant for ConBee I/II/III
Is there any other USB or serial devices connected to the host system? If so: Which?

The CLIP sensors should definitely be exposed over the API. Whether they should be visible to users is up to the API client interacting with the user, ioBroker in your case?

mattreim commented 6 months ago

Yes, the data is processed with the ioBroker. But the CLIP sensors are stored under sensors and therefore all external programs have this problem.

ebaauw commented 6 months ago

My external programs don't have this problem, as they explicitly offer the feature to interact with CLIP sensors. It's up to the user to configure the program which sensors should be visible. Phoscon as external program doesn't have this issue, as it explicitly filters out CLIP sensors. Exposing CLIP sensors this way is according to spec, and not a bug.

Ok thanks, then I'll probably have to live with it.

mattreim commented 6 months ago

Just to understand: the API cannot access other folders such as secrets?

DB-Folder

ebaauw commented 6 months ago

This looks like the database. It contains tables, not folders. And its structure is undocumented, and not exposed by the API. See https://dresden-elektronik.github.io/deconz-rest-doc/ for an overview of the API.

Closing as this is not a bug
