Device ID with name

[poudenes]

Hi,

Sidoh will implement device names.

https://github.com/sidoh/esp8266_milight_hub/pull/481

Maybe you can update also your plugin so when people have add Device names, that name will be used when they added to Domoticz?

You create all your lights in the Hub with right names, and only what you do is add them in domoticz and the names are already there ...

Cheers

Workaround:

• Remove existing hardware in domoticz, I also deleted the cache file from the plugin directory

• Stop domoticz

• Modify plugin: Name = str(device_id)+'/'+str(device_type)+'/'+str(group_id) to Name = str(device_id)

• Set Device Name in the hub for all used Groups in all used Device Ids

• MQTT settings in the hub: MQTT topic pattern milight/:device_alias/:device_type/:group_id MQTT update topic pattern milight/updates/:device_alias/:device_type/:group_id MQTT state topic pattern milight/states/:device_alias/:device_type/:group_id Group state fields All

• Start domoticz

• Add plugin to domoticz with Name: "Lamp"! The created devicenames will start with "Lamp - " then

• MQTT settings in the domoticz plugin: mqtt_topic_pattern milight/:device_id/:device_type/:group_id mqtt_states_topic_pattern milight/states/:device_id/:device_type/:group_id mqtt_updates_topic_pattern milight/updates/:device_id/:device_type/:group_id
