Create device JSON failed

[michelscholte]

I'v tried to create e device with JSON. Type is 244 (light/switch) and subtype is 62 (selector). I have the last release 2023.2.

/json.htm?type=command&param=createdevice&idx=HWIDX&name=TEST&sensormappedtype=244
{
"status" : "ERR"
}

Also the older command doesn't'work.

Hopefully someone can help me.

Have you checked the log as I assume it tells you that this format API format has changed!

Thanks for your answer.

As you can see in my post I use the NEW command. It's not working with this new command.

Ah ... you're (of course) right.
Maybe a security issue as that change substantially too?

Shouldn't your url also include the subtype?
/json.htm?type=command&param=createdevice&idx=HWIDX&name=TEST&sensormappedtype=244&devicesubtype=62

Unfortunately same issue.

Creating of new hardware/sensors is already enabled,. So, also that cannot be the problem.

What HTTP response code do you get? 200 or something else?

Try running domoticz with some debug flags enabled by setting ‘-debuglevel normal,hardware,auth’ for example.

Just to be sure..
You have to change HWIDX to an enabled dummy hardware gateway idx number or other hardware gateway that is controlling the device.
