Ungrouping the 1-wire devices

[mnsandler]

running this plugin on HS4. Anyone have a script that will ungroup the temp sensors from the Root Device?

viewing the devices in grid view is not helpful.

It gets really ugly when you have 3 populated OWServers with 65 devices. If you tap on the tile you do get a list view.



I would use Jon00’s grouping utility. It is quick and easy. I will usually change the location1 to “a” to make it easier to identify them in the utility. It quickly shows the relationship as feature, root or standalone. You can clear the relationships, then leave them ungrouped or create a new one. While you can make them all standalone, deleting a root created by a plug-in can cause problems. You could leave it as standalone and hide it.

Randy,
thanks for the the response. did you have any issue with the plugin 'regrouping' the devices after you used the jon00 grouping utility?

No. Since plug-ins address HS Devices by address or RefID, grouping has no effect on how they function, just how they are displayed.

i ungrouped the the devices, and then after restarting hs4 and the plugin, everything is regrouped



did HS4 do this, if the plugin didn't?

I’ll bet the plug-in is handling the grouping. Plug-ins will usually handle the grouping. Since Randy Ultrajones bowed out of development, there is likely nothing that can be done.

Yes, the plug-in groups devices on startup. I think it's probably best if I just release the code for this plug-in so others can make changes as needed. It's now public: https://github.com/ultrajones/HSPI_Ultra1Wire3

thanks Jones

Hey Jones
i downloaded the code (as a zip) but it doesn't look like it included all the install files listed in the install.txt

can you post the additional files in a zip file here?

[Ultrajones]

The files are in the zip file after you install the plug-in from the HomeSeer store.

Jones,

I have the code loaded and running in my dev environment. I have a old HA7E but not sure its working.

I've been stepping thought the code to see what happens when the plugin starts up.

it seems like the regrouping happens in UpdateOneWireSensors once the plugin has a collection of sensors.

do i need a fully functioning interface/device and set of temp sensors in order to test the code that re-groups the individual sensors back to the Root device?

[Ultrajones]

The device creation and grouping happens in this module in the GetHomeSeerDevice function.

I now have a TEMP08 running, and made a small change so that each sensor will get its own parent/root device (see below)

that next step is figure out how to ungroup existing sensors from the existing primary root

[mnsandler]

Now that i'm using a TEMP08, I realize that the plugin groups Humidity, Temperature, and Voltage devices under a distinct Root for each sensor type. the other sensor types must have their own Root as well.

I was thinking of grouping devices using the root ROM ID. Thus, physical devices are grouped with their unique features (voltage, temp, humidly, etc)

i will probably just add a web config Option to allow this new grouping feature.

feedback welcome



Grid View of the same:

[mnsandler]

Well i got it all working via a config option (see below)

had to run an hs4 script to update the display priority order (to 1) and display type (to important) since HS4 has a couple of small bugs that didn't make the conversion straight forward. I can make the script available here.

I left the old Root device (not displayed), so you could actually switch back and forth without changing any device ref ids.
