Copy voice tags between instances

[eliashall]

It would be great if there were a drop down on device/kinect instances to copy the voice tags from a previously edited instance tab.
for example, I will have to copy the below screenshot reproduced on all tabs manually. multiply that with lots of Z-wave devices and this feature would be a great feature.

well, it's not very easy to do that programmatically because each tab is controlled by a different process.

however if you want to copy all the device commands associated with instance1 to instance2, you can do it manually very quickly:
- edit Config/kinect_instance1.ini
- copy the whole [CONFIG_DEVICE] section
- paste it in Config/kinect_instance2.ini
- then restart your instance2

Is there also a way to modify the default syntax?

not sure what you mean?
you can override any of the default command to anything you want

[eliashall]

sorry, I mean, is there any way to specify a new default syntax template?

no, the default comands are built form device name, locations and the control name.
out of curiosity, could you give me an example of how you would like to change it?

I like to use...

%Room% Device Name On last level
[Set] [turn] [the] %Room% Device Name [to] On
[Set] [turn] [the] %Room% Device Name [to] Off
[Dim] [Set] [the] %Room% Device Name [to] On (value) [percent]

and then for devices local to each connect I modify it slightly so that the device name is simpler. for example for the master bedroom Kinect I use
[Master] [Bedroom] Light On Last Level
[turn] [the] [Master] [Bedroom] Light On
[turn] [the] [Master] [Bedroom] Light Off
[Dim] [set] [the] [master] [bedroom] light [to] (value) [percent]
