Well, they forget to url encode the arg so they will try api.get("/devices/?type=virtual_device&name=A B C") which doesn't work.

Try instead

Hi jgab, after several tests I found the solution to the problem. Fibaro being web based application the space character corresponds to %20 so it was sufficient to replace the spaces with the character % 20.

I enclose an example:

Thank you for your solution. Have a nice day!

Yes, that works well. You may want the hard-coded name in the code to be the original name for readability. Then there is a function, urlencode(str), that changes the spaces to %20
