Actions that don't require a device

[alistair]

Hi

My plugin will have actions specific to a device (turn on, turn off etc) as well as actions that are plugin wide (Check for Updates for example). Is there a neat way to specify that an action does not require a device, such that the "device" picker doesn't show up?

The undocumented flag "deviceFilter" seems to do something clever here....?

Yep - if you exclude the deviceFilter attribute on an <Action> element then the device popup won't show in the action UI. We added deviceFilter sorta last minute and I haven't updated the docs to include it yet.

This was a dumb question, Sorry

Take away the "deviceFilter" param altogether, and no device is requested....

Just added deviceFilter to the docs so it's more clear...
