Python version of an applescript to get a device list

This applescript returns a device list:

Code: Select all

tell application "IndigoServer" to return name of every device where supports on off is true and display in remote ui is true

How can one get the same list in python (python code fragments combined from forum searches)?

Code: Select all

devList = [dev for dev in indigo.devices.iter() if 'onOffState' in dev.states and 'displayState' in dev.states]

returns more devices than the applescript version.

What would be the correct keys (if that is the correct term) to use?

I think you're close - you need to check the remoteDisplay property (not state):

Code: Select all

devList = [dev for dev in indigo.devices.iter() if 'onOffState' in dev.states and dev.remoteDisplay]

It would be possible for Python to return more devices since AppleScript doesn't support custom plugin devices. So if a plugin defined a custom device type and it had an 'onOffState' state (all devices have the remoteDisplay property) then you'd get it in Python but not in AppleScript.

Thank you, this returns the exact same list. Onward through the fog.
