I need to have the endpoint id for future calculations something like device.fingerprinted_endpoint_id
this value should be fast and easily readable as it’s part of many functions.
should I use
local function first_button_ep(device)
return device:get_field("first_button_ep")
end
or there is a better, faster way to get the value
@veonua You can get it from its component/endpoint association:
-- component associated to device.fingerprinted_endpoint_id
local component = "..."
device:get_endpoint_for_component_id(component)
unfortunately, there is a many-to-many relationship, eg. component has a button ep:4 and a switch ep:2
If you made the endpoint to component association as documented at the Zigbee libraries / Multi-Component devices, you should be able to easily query any endpoint dynamically.
Also, to have a better context, can you share more details about the implementation you’re trying to achieve?
get_endpoint_for_component_id returns a number,
2
while I need a dictionary
{
capability.switch : 2,
capability.button: 4
}
Since it is a data structure what you need to save and collect, yes, the persistent_store is an accurate approach.
