Delete a device

Hi,

I want to remove a device completely: if I remove it via the Hardware tab, the device is removed but its values still show up in the Device tab.
How can I clean up, without messing with the sqlite DB directly?

Thanks,
Stephan

I delete the device in hardware tab and also in device tab.
I am using MySensors.

I'm also using MySensors.

Do you mean you can delete devices from this screen?

Yes, that's the place I delete from.
Left side, mark the device and then click the small trash can at the too

Oh thank you! I didn't notice the trash can at the top!
It's a weird place to put it, IMHO.

But anyway, thank you!

Just found this thread by googling how to delete a device. Let me just add my two cents that this is a terrible UI design. In no other app, ever, do you look in the column header for a delete button!

Don't complain, contribute. If you are not happy with the design then add your 'two cents' to the project.

You are right of course. Just frustrated with the UI in the heat of the moment. Domoticz is a great community supported project.

As a Domoticz user for years I have looked for a way to delete devices.
I agree, terrible UI design. At least now i know.

Complaining is my my contribution

Why did you never asked this as a long time Domoticz user? That is why this forum is for. Don't complain, ask!!!

In a list view it is quite normal to have the options above the check column. In this case you can check on multiple devices and delete them in one go.
Other option: Go to the device tab, Click on edit ==> Remove Device. Just like that. PoC

On the delete subject - how do I UNdelete a device?
I have deleted a RFLink device, that I now would like to UNdelete - is that possible and how?

Thanks!

Not possible, if you delete it it's gone forever and you have to re-create it. Would be nice to have sort of recycle bin, but that is not easy to implement if you also want to recycle all RFLink hardware and associated devices

This question is really answered using google and forum, not one’s eyes.

Not intuitive UI placement. Please, replace it with a labeled button “Delete” someday.
