If there any way to check if a device exists and create it if not?

First you need a list with all devices in the system, used or not.
http://<ip>:<port>/json.htm?type=devices&filter=all&order=Name
This returns a JSON with all devices, you can now test if the device exists and create a new one if not

To check if a device exist and is set to active:
Code: Select all
local deviceName = "your device name"
local myDevice = domoticz.devices(deviceName)
if myDevice then
domoticz.log("device " .. myDevice.name .. " exist and is active")
else
domoticz.log("device " .. deviceName .. " does not exist or is set inactive")
end
to create a device you will need to call domoticz via an API

This can be done using the openURL command in dzVents
