    Adding Category to a device

    I'm using the following code to add an existing category to a device using its reference ID:

    Code:
    Sub Main(Parm As Object)
        Dim Ref As Integer = 1234
        hs4.AddRefToCategory("Fans",Ref)
    End sub
    When run, no errors but the 'Fan' is not added to the device category list when you inspect its device settings?

    Is this a bug or am I doing this wrong?

    Does category exist? You need CreateCategory() first.

      As stated this is an existing category (default categories provided by HomeSeer)

        And BTW, there was a bug that you can add the same ref to the list, hence refs.Contains(RefId) check.

          I believe that the first argument is not the name/alias of the category but the CategoryID of the Category.

            Ahh...yes. Misread the docs. I can get the GUID using hs4.GetAllCategories() and extracting the Key.

            Thanks for the pointer!
