Can I add a device dependency?

Ia there a method to add a device dependency to one of my plugin devices? Some of my plugin devices require other indigo devices to function properly. I would like to add device dependencies so that if a user attempts to delete a required device indigo provides the dialog warning that the dependent device must also be deleted.

What I do is use the

Code: Select all

indigo.devices.subscribeToChanges()

method, then when I get a

Code: Select all

deviceDeleted()

call I log a message and disable the dependent device:

Code: Select all

    def deviceDeleted(self, delDevice):
        indigo.PluginBase.deviceDeleted(self, delDevice)

        for myDeviceId, myDevice in sorted(self.masqueradeList.items()):
            baseDevice = int(myDevice.pluginProps["baseDevice"])
            if delDevice.id == baseDevice:
                self.logger.info(f"A device ({delDevice.name}) that was being Masqueraded has been deleted.  Disabling {myDevice.name}")
                indigo.device.enable(myDevice, value=False)  # disable it


Thanks Joe, I'll give it a try.
