[ANSWERED]: indigo.device.create

I have an extended thermostat device type and have set some field values (like NumHumidityInputs) in the Devices.xml file. I notice that when I programmatically create a device, these field settings are not respected. If I create a device through the menu, all works as expected.

Thoughts?

The Devices.xml default field values are only used when the UI is shown, so you are correct. But the device.create() method takes an option argument, props, that is a dict that can be used to also specify the default values you want to set (like NumHumidityInputs).

Perfect. Thank you.
