Add "room" awareness to each device

You need to do two things. At plugin startup:

Code: Select all

    def startup(self):
        indigo.devices.subscribeToChanges()


And then implement the routine to monitor changes:

Code: Select all

    def deviceUpdated(self, oldDevice, newDevice):
        indigo.PluginBase.deviceUpdated(self, oldDevice, newDevice)

    # do something here




[jay (support)]

Code: Select all

 def deviceUpdated(self, oldDevice, newDevice):
    indigo.PluginBase.deviceUpdated(self, oldDevice, newDevice)
    # do something here


I'm not positive that it makes a difference, but you should probably use the super method to call the plugin's parent class's method:

Code: Select all

def deviceUpdated(self, oldDevice, newDevice):
    super(Plugin, self).deviceUpdated(oldDevice, newDevice)
    # do something here


If for no other reason, we might change the base class (or add another one) in the future so to migrate all you'd need to do is change it in the Plugin class definition.

Good to know. Bookmarked.
