Cancelling DeviceFactory creation still creates a device

Even if I cancel out of the creation dialog, and never call indigo.device.create(), a device is still created.

Yep - it's the same for any device, as soon as you select a device type in the new device dialog a device is created at that point.

What's the best way to get that device ID so I can delete it?

Not sure. Given that that is expected behavior from all other device creations, any special reason you want to delete it automatically?

Because the way the DeviceFactory works, if they don't complete the creation process completely it's a useless device. At least for this specific plugin.

I can probably just iterate through the devices assigned to the plugin and figure out which one it is.

That's what happens to other devices as well when they cancel out of the configuration dialog...

I understand that it's the current standard behavior, but I don't think it's a good UX. If I can clean it up, is there a good reason I shouldn't?

I prefer consistency - even worse UX (IMO) is something that works inconsistently with other similar actions. It's like those old windows ports to the Mac where things were just different enough for them to feel un-Mac-like...

But that's just me.

Do I recall an equivalent to $isFullyConfigured in the device properties?

Yes: dev.configured
