    Help I deleted all my devices?

    I have been trying to clean house on the plug in and I started deleting various unused devices. The idea is to have Alexa only upload those which I am using. However when I finally deleted those Black devices and the only remaining Root device all has disappeared.

    How can I achieve my goal? What determines which devices get uploaded to Alexa? And most of all how can get all of my devices showing again for another go at it?

    I am currently getting this message "error creating the webpage. Object reference not set to an instance of an object"

    A couple of things:

    First, usually all plugins that run in HS recommend that you remove the device in the plugin and not in the HS Device View. The reason for this is that the device actually belongs to the plugin and it needs to retain control over it.

    When you removed the Root device, all of the child devices that belonged to that Root were removed.

    In the future, just hide the devices you dont want to see. In the upper-left, there is a dropdown that will hide selected devices. This will keep your Device Management screen tidy and allow the plugin to work.

    So, now it sounds like you have some orphaned devices between the plugin and HS. Try restarting the plugin and see if that syncs things back up.

    As far as Alexa goes, you really only need to tag them as Voice Control in the device properties. Alexa will pick them up when you Discover Devices.

      Mason again thank you for bailing me out.
      However when I isolate and check all the devices I want to hide and do it as you describe in the upper left, the devices do not go away. They continue to show in the 'show all' and when those types are selected. So what are they hidden from??? For instance when I want to bring up Thermostats with only the heat, cool, and temps showing all that other parameters of the thermostats continue to show despite that I have hidden them???

          Thank you very much. I now realize that after designating devices to be hidden, I then need to go over to the green eye on the right and click it to make it red and then all those devices marked hidden will go out of view.
