James Peterson Posted June 20, 2016 Posted June 20, 2016 Adding the ability to initiate a device add or device removal from the API would be invaluable. For app developers like myself, I feel the ability to add advice to the ISY from an app would greatly improve the user attraction as well and usability of our apps and programs. I don't know where UDI is on something like this, but I feel it should be on the tippy top of priorities if the ISY is going to compete with other platforms.

apnar Posted June 20, 2016 Posted June 20, 2016 I add devices all the time with MobiLinc so it must be possible.

apnar Posted June 20, 2016 Posted June 20, 2016 I add all kinds of insteon devices. I'm on iOS though. Every time I add a switch or such I just add it directly via MobiLinc as opposed to writing the address down and adding it later.

James Peterson Posted June 20, 2016 Author Posted June 20, 2016 Mildly confused. I do not recognize those address formats other then for ELK. Can you put in a standard Insteon address? 12 AB CD
MWareman Posted June 20, 2016 Posted June 20, 2016 It's probably done thru the SOAP API. James, I think you are using REST, which dosnt support this yet. REST does allow for including zwave devices though. I know Michel has previously indicated their plan to migrate as many SOAP interfaces to REST as possible. Michael.

My app can do either or depending on what is needed. I just find REST a "LOT" simpler then SOAP. If there are calls that will allow this, then I need help finding them, because I have looked through the docs many times.
James Peterson Posted June 20, 2016 Author Posted June 20, 2016 Yeah. Not sure about the text in the field but I always do the 12.34.ab address format and it works great. OK, I'll look into it. Thanks for the info.

I haven't looked into trying it though - but it's listed on the Wiki page about the SOAP API.
James Peterson Posted June 20, 2016 Author Posted June 20, 2016 I just got a rely from Michel K. It does appear to be available in SOAP. I'll see what I can do with it. Really wish this was REST. Yeah. Not sure about the text in the field but I always do the 12.34.ab address format and it works great. thx I'm pretty sure 'AddNode' is what your after... Takes an ID, Name and Type.

G W Posted June 20, 2016 Posted June 20, 2016 I'll see what I can do with it. Really wish this was REST. I really wish I had your skills in Android development. But work with what we have. (Smile) You're doing a great job and many of us understand the pain you feel. You've come so long way in a short period of time. My sincere thanks and blessings.
