Has anyone ever........

After years of running Indigo on my Mini, I have been kicking around the idea of dumping everything and starting with a completely clean install. Only really keeping the devices themselves.

Through the years I have triggers that no longer are in use, remote controls and TV Remotes that I no longer have and scenes that don't get used anymore.

Has anyone done similar? What were the roadblocks and experiences ?

I can say that I've moved houses and never started over. As a result, I have a lot of cruft. Upgrading to Indigo 7.4 had identified a bunch of old AppleScripts that I don't use any more, so that's helped out a bit in terms of identifying stuff I don't use any more.

If I had time, though, I might very well just dump everything and start over. But, time of course is the issue...

If I started clean all the devices are held in the USB Stick, Correct? Or would I need to add each device again?

Yep - you'd still need to add them to Indigo, but you wouldn't need to exclude/include them. Just add a new device, pick the right one from the node list at the bottom, and sync. The trick of course is that you'd need to "remember" which one was which since the node list will only tell you the number and the general type of device. You can generate a simple name->node ID map with this short script:

Code: Select all

for dev in indigo.devices.iter("indigo.zwave"):
    print(dev.address, dev.name)

in a scripting shell. That will print something that looks roughly like this (but with your devices of course):

Code: Select all

(u'39', u'039 - Humidity')
(u'39', u'039 - Luminance')
(u'39', u'039 - Motion Sensor')
(u'39', u'039 - Temperature')
(u'54', u'Accent Lights Switch')
(u'45', u'AM 1')
(u'56', u'AM 2')
(u'29', u'Counter Lights')
(u'50', u'Dryer')
(u'36', u'Eves Plugs Wall Switch')
(u'22', u'Evolve On/Off Wallwart')
(u'34', u'Foyer Dimmer Module')
(u'28', u'Front Door Lock')
(u'24', u'Garage Motion Sensor')
(u'18', u'Guest Smoke Detector')
(u'31', u'Kitchen Pendents')
(u'55', u'Living Room Cans')
(u'51', u'Living Room Shelf Lights Left')
(u'52', u'Living Room Shelf Lights Right')
(u'53', u'Living Room Thermostat')
(u'44', u'Living Room TV Switch')
(u'46', u'LM 1')
(u'47', u'LM 2')
(u'60', u'LM 3')
(u'23', u'Main Siren')
(u'23', u'Main Strobe')
(u'17', u'Master Bedroom Humidity')
(u'17', u'Master Bedroom Luminance')
(u'17', u'Master Bedroom Motion')
(u'17', u'Master Bedroom Temperature')
(u'30', u'Media Thermostat')
(u'6', u'Mud Hall Outlet')
(u'48', u'Office Lamp 1')
(u'43', u'Office Multi-Sensor (Humidity)')
(u'43', u'Office Multi-Sensor (Light)')
(u'43', u'Office Multi-Sensor (Motion)')
(u'43', u'Office Multi-Sensor (Temperature)')
(u'33', u'Outdoor Module #1')
(u'2', u'Outdoor Module #2')
(u'3', u'Outdoor Module #3')
(u'49', u'Washing Machine')


You can then use that when adding your devices to Indigo.
