Query HUB for attached Devices

[GaryFunk]

I can’t put in a public statement what I think that David is.

I’d be accused of a bromance.

I can say that I would love the opportunity to spend a week at his side, during business hours.

Yuupp! It would be fun to have some time at WeatherFlow . . . like a developer / tester conference.

Does the Hub know which devices are allowed to communicate with it? If yes, does it know the serial number of each device?

Yes, sort of. When the Hub is put in “pairing mode” it will connect to any AIR looking for a Hub. And the Hub keeps a list of AIR serial numbers to which it has paired.

main job is to keep the application hedges neatly pruned and trimmed

True! Sometimes they let me pick out new plants.

I would love to do a Smart Weather Developer conference one day! Good goal for 2019 maybe…

However, keep in mind that it would only be a best guess, because the device connections are not continuous.

So… could a new packet be designed to send only when the Hub Reboot, the list of serial numbers that are paired to the Hub?

If you want to carpool, I can drive from here to Clyde Morris in my sleep having made that road trip many times without a map or GPS…

Personally, I’d like to see that information as part of the hub status. If the hub is rebooting there’s a good chance that the rest of the devices in the house are also rebooting so anything monitoring the hub may miss that message.

An additional parameter such as

did:[AR-00001234,SK-00005678]

That would work great.

Sorry for the late reply - this is a good idea and something we have on the backlog. It’s not as simple as you might think, but it’s something we would like to add eventually.
