Adding state to existing devices

One problem I've run into is that if I make a change to a device that adds a state, I get errors using updateStateOnServer() to set a value for that state, since it doesn't exist. Only editing the device in the Indigo client seems to create the new state properly.

I can add new device properties no problem, but not states.

Am I missing something obvious?

Try the following command on your device startup to force the states to populate or, in the case that I most use it for, to remove themselves if you have taken them out of the devices.xml:

Code: Select all

dev.stateListOrDisplayStateIdChanged()


Figured it would be something obvious that I missed.
