Team,

I have 2 Oregon Temperature sensors that I would like to switch rooms:
- Bedroom, device \10
- Office, device \33

Changing the device names: this will mess up the sensor history
- Before July 1st: \33 = Office temperature
- After July 1st: \33 = Bedroom temperature
(and the other way around for the bedroom sensor)

1) Change the device-id (like \33) in the RFXCOM sensor configuration: will that change anything in the Database?

2) Is there another way to keep the device ID (like \33) tied to the room, not the physical sensor?


Thank you!
DJ

PS. I noticed that if I change device names in the RFXCOM configuration of Homeseer, you need a graceful shutdown of Homeseer, otherwise your changes are lost (even if the HS crash was 3 days after the RFXCOM config change)

Anyone?

You should be able to do this by swapping the 'device ID'. (e.g. TEMP2[1234]T).
This is how I replaced a broken device while maintaining the history.

To swap a device you could use the Device Replacement in Menu Tools in Homeseer. But here you delete the old device and replace it with the new one and keeping the history of the deleted device. In case of DJ it's not an option because both devices must be kept.
I don't know how to do it, maybe a manual change in the database itself?
Maybe add two dummy devices and replace it cross links?

I've completely no idea about this. Maybe add a question at the Homeseer Board?

Maybe I have to

Before
\33 TEMP2[1234]T Office
\22 TEMP2[5678]T Bedroom

After
\33 TEMP2[5678]T Office
\22 TEMP2[1234]T Bedroom

So I have to change the 'RF' ID as suggested by Louis.
Maybe if I remove both devices from the RFXCOM configuration and then add them again. Removing a device from the RFXCOM config should not change/remove anything in the historical data (DB).
When adding the devices: Instead of
- Assigning TEMP2[1234]T to \22
- It needs to be assigned to device \33

Then the Homeseer Device_ID for "Office" remains "\33" but it listens to a different sensor.
