change IDx is that possible ?

[Stef]

hello

I'm connecting / removing my own devices and use the description here https://www.domoticz.com/wiki/MQTT

It works, but everytime I remove a device and reconnect again, I get another IDX and I have to reprogram my own device.

Isn't possible to change the IDx in Domotics, so that you can smoothly add and remove devices ?

thanks,
Stef

No, the IDx cannot be changed because there are too many tables in the database referencing this IDx. For some devices you can move (replace) the old data to the new device.

It's sad if you have many blocky you have to change all of them.

Had same in past. But learned the dzvents system and now have a global_data file with all my idx in it and a nice name. Build all scripts on the nice name. When a idx change I only chance it in the global_data file problem solved

Hi Poudenes,

I had a problem with the DB. I removed then reinstall some of my devices, and I got new idx and I had to modify some scripts.
I searched the solution you did to prevent the same situation in the future, but I can't find!...

Would it be possible to help me to make that magic file?!...

Thank you,

Jimmy
