Name of a Virtual Device

[rhalbheer 5]

Hi All,

when I was writing code in a virtual device in HC2 I could call fibaro:getName(fibaro:selfId) to get the name of a virtual device. I often use this for logging purposes. Is there something similar in HC3?

Thank you

native solution fibaro.debug.

more than, print also add the name to log.

if you wanna have a nice name you may this trick

 

_TAG = "QA_MY_SWIT_NAME_" .. plugin.mainDeviceId

 

just define at the top of your QA

Sorry, we seem to have a misunderstanding. The device has a name shown in the list of the devices. I want to get this name. I have the same QA with different names and within the code, I would like to get the name of the QA

I was at the same point but this would mean that I manually have to put in the id of the device, right? And I am not talking of the technical name it shows in the trace/debug, I am talking of the user-friendly name which is shown in the UI.
