Enumerate through settings/preferences

Please avoid cross posting to multiple Topics. (This has been considered improper forum etiquette for literally decades.)

I responded here on your original Topic:

Establish Reference/Pointers to a $settings.switch object

To the best of my knowledge, you are indeed “missing something”. The Device Objects (ie, along with their Events, Attributes and Commands) can only be accessed by their explicit input variables or input lists (ie, “Relay1”, “Relay2”, etc.). There is (in my recollection / experience) no way to assign this reference nor access it indirectly through the “settings” map or similar references. Repeat after me: Only the input variable can access the Object. Why? - Because only the customer can set and change the selected inputs, and this ensures that the customer is in full control of which of his/her Devices that your SmartApp can access. Make sense???
