    Many extraneous devices

    OK, I've finally started to actually _use_ this plugin. I had the "off by one" problem reported by others; downloading the latest version through the updater seems to have solved that. I've still got a jillion "No data from VWS" blank-name devices, though - what's up with that?

    I know I can manually delete them, but why are they created in the first place? I suspect they may correspond to items in the dbase data file, but I've selected CSV-only on the config page.

    Hi Dennis, the extra devices are only created if dbase.csv or Both are selected in the ini config file...That being said, use the Re-Create Devices button on the config page to delete and re-create devices. Do this only after you select just the data.csv if that is the only data you require.

      Sorry, beg to differ. I've definitely got CSV selected in the drop-down, but on initial configuration and (just now) on "re-create devices", all the unidentified devices are still created.

        I had the gazillion not used devices as well, left it alone for a month, no updates, so I deleted them manually and no problem after that.
