Impossible to define empty array

[jpink]

Hi,

how can I define empty array or nodes? For example i have a PC (device) with zero, one or more serial ports (nodes) available at runtime. How should i define my nodes? Should I disconnect, recreate and reconnect the device every time when any of these serial connections are made or released/disconnected (closed from host).

I assume that $array → "0-0" contains only single element?

You are not even forced to use arrays. Although you have same-like nodes or properties, but you can also just expose one/two/three nodes or properties. And the $nodes and $properties attribute support the empty string.

Especially if you consider that Homie 4.0 has no "arrays" anymore because of many shortcomings.

With no arrays in 4.0, we can close this, no?
