Switch temperature sensor - how to handle with RFXCOM
Posted: Mon Jul 02, 2012 5:17 pm
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!

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)
