    Very good! A view for devices like your view for events. This will be very good for drilling down through devices or creating a device listing report. Lots of selection filters as well.

      I've updated the first post with more information. Still making a few tweaks before I release.

          Hopefully in the next day or two. The only caveat is that you need to be running Homeseer version 3.0.0.451 or higher.

          You can prepare by downloading it now: https://homeseer.com/updates3/SetupHS3_3_0_0_451.msi

            V1.0.1 (Release version) is now available from my site. Please note the Homeseer version requirement of 3.0.0.451 (see previous post for download link). At this time I believe this version is only available for Windows.

            I would appreciate your comments.

              It works very well . I like how similar it is to your Event Viewer and Documenter script. In addition to being able to search devices using almost any criteria, I will use this like the Event Viewer and generate weekly reports of all Devices for reference should one go missing. I may also generate some more specific reports.

              I also appreciate the donation reminder on the documentation. It reminded me to thank you properly for all of your effort. Donation sent!

                Jon, I have looked on the board and cannot find a reference to HomeSeer 3.0.0.451, did I miss the release notes somewhere?

                  It is the same as .449 except .450 corrected an error with the device class voice command and 451 added a new one: https://forums.homeseer.com/showpost...12&postcount=5

                    V1.0.2 is now available

                    Changes since V1.0.1:

                    Corrected error with Room/Location swapped in sort drop-down.
                    Added additional sort selection (device value & status - for Device View)
                    Added column sort to Device view display.

                      Another very useful utility, donation sent!

                      One minor suggestion would be to use the users configured labels for Location 1 and Location 2 rather than the default Floor and Room.

                      Thanks,
                      Steve

                        Thanks Steve.

                        Actually that feature was in the original version but I took it out as longer names were upsetting the table name widths (which are fixed) on the device view page.

                          I suppose you could truncate the names to a fixed length to avoid long name problems.

                            Excellent work Jon. Thanks for everything you do to make using HomeSeer easier and increase it's usefulness. Your latest work is nothing short of stellar.

                            Thanks again for all you do, it is appreciated. I made a small donation as thanks.
