Device List export

How can I get a text file of the device list as it shows up on the "devices" screen that I can edit and modify for printing. I know that I can get a screen dump, but that is a graphics file that can't be edited. I am using indigo version 7.1. Many programs have a print function that allows the printing out of many of the same items that are on the screen, but not as a graphic but as text. Indigo does not appear to have such a function. Can I use the database file xxxxx.indiDb for this?

How do I get to your answer? On this forum somehow or can you email me at superuser@waterfreeclean.com

Thank you,
Armin Wolff

Jay will move this question to a new thread where it should be.

A short python script will output the device names to a list, or there *might* be an option in the Utilities plugin to dump devices to the log.

Im not sure if most of the columns you see in the UI are available to Python though.

This is probably much more than you want, but give it a try.

(From memory, I am not near my computer, so this may be a bit inaccurate.):In the Devices display, right-click on the device and select Copy Python Reference. Then under the Plugin menu, select Open Scripting Shell. Finally, in the scripting shell window type print, followed by a space and then paste the Python device reverence you copied earlier, and press return. You will get a list of all information associated with the device. You can then copy and paste this information into a document and edit as you wish.

Re: Device List export

[MODERATOR NOTE] moved to a more appropriate forum.

You can write a script to do it. You should start by identifying the data you want for each device and in what format, then we can help you write a script to do it.

Re: Device List export

do you remember which forum this was moved to?

I can't find any subsequent answers, and have a similar need: I would like to export/print a list of devices (w/ protocol & address), a list of schedules (with devices used & times), triggers (with devices used and delays), triggers (with conditions), and action groups (with devices & delays)

Thanks

Device List export

This forum. Python scripting.

The original poster never replied so no script was ever posted.

Re: Device List export
