Manually set IDX?

Post by strelniece »

Hi,

is it possible to change the IDX manually?

Why?

I have sensors via tellstick and want to send the data to Domoticz, via node-red and MQTT. Since the sensors has a one ID in tellstick and another in Domoticz, I have to do a conversion, in node-red-

Of course it would be much easier to change the IDX in Domoticz. Haven't found a straightforward way to do it, does anyone know if it's at all possible?

(Change it in tellstick seems even more impossible...)

You could backup your database from the settings page, then open the database in a editor like 'SQLite Expert Personal Edition'
then change the IDX values in the 'DeviceStatus' table
When doing so, i would also clear all log tables (Meter/Multimeter/....) or change also the IDX value there as well

Depending on the amount of devices, maybe best todo this in the node-red script, making one lookup table, easy to extend later
