Finding out when a users deletes a device

MikeOne

Hi developers,

I'm trying to find an event I can subscribe to from my driver that let's me know if a user deletes a device (from the Zones & Devices page). Anyone had any luck with doing that?

Nattelip

read the library. 


module.exports.deleted = function( device_data ) { // run when the user has deleted the device from Homey }

I guess I mis-worded my question and failed to explain what I already tried (and doesn't work).

module.exports.deleted (doesn't do anything)
module.exports.delete (in case the above was a typo..)

socket.on('delete')
socket.on('delete_device')
socket.on('delete_devices');
socket.on('deleted')
socket.on('device_delete')
socket.on('devices_delete')
socket.on('devices_deleted')
socket.on('device_deleted')

(and I'm probably missing a few)..

And many more things (hooking into the driver events directly etc). 

So before I raise an Issue in Github, I'm trying to find out if anyone as ever gotten the documented methods to work.

'deleted' works like a charm, see e.g. https://github.com/nlrb/com.tclcode.otgw/blob/master/drivers/thermostat/driver.js

be sure you put it in your driver.js!
Its just like documented:

```
  deleted: function (device, callback) {

    Homey.log('delete device', device)

    callback()

  },

```

It is what I thought, it should be simple.

In my driver.js I now put the simplest of examples:

module.exports.deleted = function(device, callback){

    Homey.log("deleted device", device);

    callback();

}

NOTHING logged in the output. I don't get it..

What version are you guys on? I'm on 0.8.29..

Right... I see now what the issue is - not exactly transparant :-)

I didn't have the callback() in init()... Once I put it there, the deleted started working.... Right..

Thanks guys!

According to the documentatiom deleted doesn't have a callback: https://developers.athom.com/library/drivers/
