@Neo Andersson

this works for me:
 

api.put("/devices/" .. self.id, {properties = {  deviceIcon = 1002 } })

But not yours with categories and devicerole 

But the categories or devicerole dosent work either for me🤔

 

ill use this to update them:

  self:updateProperty("deviceRole", "Other")

  self:updateProperty("categories",{"other"})

 

 

Aha
this is the syntax for it to work
 

 

api.put("/devices/" .. self.id, {properties = { categories = {"other"}, deviceRole = "Other", deviceIcon = 1001 } })

 

brackets at the categories since it is multiselect

Dont you know by chance, how can i set using api call, that the device will use the old view and not the new one?

I used to use this:

  self:updateProperty("useUiView",false)

  self:updateProperty("hasUIView",false)

 

But this is bugged now it seems like...

But this works now   (It restart the QA!) 
 

  local ui_view = api.get("/devices/"..self.id.."")

  print("hasUIView: ",json.encode(ui_view.hasUIView))

  print("useUiView: ",json.encode(ui_view.properties.useUiView))

  if ui_view.properties.useUiView == true then

  api.put("/devices/" .. self.id, {properties = {  useUiView = false } })

  end

Thanks @Brors94 for this, I will update my QA's to ensure Web and App view compatibility thanks to you.

Just wanted to point out that "ui_view.hasUIView" is of no use (it's a read-only property and cannot be changed anyway), so I was wondering why you output it with print() ?

Only "ui_view.properties.useUiView" can be changed.

 

I modified it to fit my need like this :

Now it will debug any case, and even handle the absence of the property (as I am unsure whether it's available or can be modified by api.get() on Z-Box Hub or Venture WISE).

This makes it compatible with all HC3-like boxes as well.

 

Hope it's of any use to other users 😃
