Force reload of device names


#1

Is there a way to force WebCore to reload device names ?

For example, if I change the name of a device using the SmartThings IDE, it doesn’t refresh immediately in WebCore IDE. Best way I’ve found so far is that I logout of WebCore, then login. That works reliably, but forces me to go through the sequence of “Register a browser” again.

A small thing to be sure, but curious to find a faster way.

If memory serves me correctly, try this:

Phone > ST App > Automation > SmartApps > webCoRE > Save
… wait a moment, then
Web Browser > Hard refresh (Ctrl-F5) or clear cache

Thanks for chiming in @WCmore

I tried saving via smartthings app, and then an “empty cache and hard reload”, which is available in chrome (right-click on reload button) when Dev tools (F12) is open. This was over the course of about 10 minutes

No joy, updated device name didn’t propagate into WebCore.

I then logged out of WebCore (and re-registered browser on the way back in). This was within approx 60 seconds after finishing above steps (so quick). Worked, and updated the device name in my piston. So I don’t think your tip worked, unless I missed something. Like I said, small problem, just was hoping for something easy.
