Disabling automatc addition of RFX devices

Hello dear devellopers,
I live in the center of a town. Everyday when I look in devices there are between 20 and 200 new devices in there that are not mine. Removing them is time consument and a pain to do. And they return at some point in time.
Is it possibble in a next relaese to disable this automatic recognition and only add RFX devices by learning them as is already possible on the switches page?
Also when deleting devices it would be nice if one could select a block of devices instead of having to select them one at a time. Or am I missing a trick?
Best regards,
GJ

Setup - Settings - Hardware devices: disable Accept New Hardware Devices

I think that what the gjvdp is proposing is an option to disable automatic creation of new rfxcom devices. I would agree with the suggestion since I have the same problem.

OK in other words:
Creation of new devices is disabled if you disable " Accept New Hardware Devices" in Setup - Settings - Hardware devices

Yes I know what that option does, there is no need to repeat. The point is that that option disables creation of ALL devices, while the request is an option to disable creation of ONLY rfxcom devices. Ideally, I guess an option to disable creation of devices BY type would be also welcome.

Until someone implemented this feature in domoticz, you can execute this dzVents script at regular intervals to remove the unused devices.
When not yet familiar with dzVents please start with reading
Get started Before implementing. Special attention please for
"In Domoticz go to Setup > Settings > Other and in the section EventSystem make sure the checkbox 'dzVents disabled' is not checked. Also make sure that in the Security section in the settings you allow 127.0.0.1 to not need a password. dzVents uses that port to send certain commands to Domoticz. Finally make sure you have set your current location in Setup > Settings > System > Location, otherwise there is no way to determine nighttime/daytime state."
Code: Select all
-- deleteInactive
local httpResponses = "deleteInactive"
return {
on = {
timer = { "at 16:24" }, -- Your preferred time or times
httpResponses = { httpResponses }
},
logging = {
level = domoticz.LOG_DEBUG,
marker = httpResponses
},
execute = function(dz, item)
local hardwareTypes2Delete =
{
"RFXCOM - RFXtrx433 USB 433.92MHz Transceiver", -- All hardware types can be found in source file
"RFLink Gateway USB", -- main/RFXNames.h
"OpenZWave USB",
}
local deleteAllUnused = false -- set true if you want to delete all unused devices
local simulationOnly = true -- set to false if you are ready to really delete unused devices
local simulationString = ""
if simulationOnly then
simulationString = "-- Simulation mode -- "
end
local function logWrite(str,level)
dz.log(tostring(str),level or dz.LOG_DEBUG)
end
local function getUnusedDevices()
local url = dz.settings['Domoticz url'] .. "/json.htm?type=devices&used=false"
dz.openURL({ url = url,
method = "GET",
callback = httpResponses })
end
local function deleteDevice(idx)
if not simulationOnly then
dz.openURL( dz.settings['Domoticz url'] .. "/json.htm?type=deletedevice&idx=" .. idx)
end
logWrite(simulationString .. "deleting device id: " .. idx)
end
local function processUnused(result)
if result == nil then
logWrite ("No unused devices found")
return
end
for index in pairs(result) do
if deleteAllUnused then
logWrite(simulationString .. "Unused device " .. result[index].idx .. ", hardware Type: " .. result[index].HardwareType .. "; will be deleted.")
deleteDevice(result[index].idx)
else
for i in ipairs(hardwareTypes2Delete) do
if result[index].HardwareType == hardwareTypes2Delete[i] then
logWrite(simulationString .. "Unused device " .. result[index].idx .. ", hardware Type: " .. result[index].HardwareType .. "; will be deleted.")
deleteDevice(result[index].idx)
end
end
end
end
end
-- Main
if not item.isHTTPResponse then
getUnusedDevices()
elseif item.ok then -- statusCode == 2xx
processUnused(item.json.result)
end
end
}

Thanks all for the suggestions sofar.
On the subject of unwanted rfx devices, it is nice I can switch off automatic addition of such.
However, if I want to add devices I will run in to the same problem. If I am not fast enough new entries will be created that are not my devices. Deleting them is not a problem but my numbering goes out of wack at that moment.
And deleting unused devices also deletes entries of my own devices that are not used at the moment but might be needed at a later date.
So the original request still stands.

How many times do you add new devices?
Do you want to add new RFXtrx devices?
Which devices are created?
Maybe an option to disable the RFXtrx or the protocol in the RFXtrx for the specific unwanted devices during the time you like to add new devices.
