General question #6

Closed DevEddy closed 5 years ago

DevEddy commented 5 years ago

When a device is not yet supported is it possible to skip or create a placeholder object?

Reason: The UI and the communication should still work for the known devices. The UI could show the unknown device to the user and he could report that device.

Hi Eddy,

I understand and surely that is doable. I'll think about a good way and get back to you asap.

Hi Eddy,

I have added a quick work around for unknown devices. They should now deserialize as ExpandoObjects. I haven't had the time to test it, so let me know if you run into any issues. The upside: You won't get any exceptions due to unknown devices. The downside: You should get an EventNotification for unknown devices as you do for known ones, but for them "HomematicIpObjectBase" will be null. As a quick fix that is ok, but people will not know why this happened. I'll leave this open until I have the time to come up with a real solution.
