adding points in the devices about bepacom-bacnet-ip-integration HOT 5 CLOSED

Hello,

I think you might mean for the add-on? The integration should already reload once more points get added, but this is usually only while the add-on is busy reading a BACnet device. Do you dynamically add BACnet objects to your device?

I'm finalizing the programming of two devices. The ultimate goal would be to display some parameters of both devices on HA to have an interface easily accessible from a smartphone. With one of the two devices, I can export the variables I want in BACnet, so I can already make a selection from there. But with the other one, I need to create a subset of BACnet variables in Home Assistant. I could import the device into the integration with all the variables disabled and then enable only the ones I need. But if I were to add a new point to the device that I need to import, I would be forced to delete the entire device and redo the selection from scratch, or at least that's what I saw from some tests I did.

To display a new variable in the intagration, from what I've seen, I have to:

1 Reload the add-on.

2 Delete the device from the integration.

3 Reload the intagration.

I think the issue for the add-on is that whenever you updated your BACnet device's configuration, the add-on still assumes the old objects are there. It doesn't check for new objects, so it'll never update to the new configuration.
If you want, it might be useful to start a new issue at the add-on GitHub. That way I'll keep it in mind when working on the add-on.

ok i'll open a new issue there, thank you!
