Hi All,

I am having a go at creating my first app for a couple of Zigbee devices. The manufacturer has used the product ID to contain the serial number. It is encoded in the form of 101.301.xxxxxx Where xxxxxx is different for each device. I was wondering if there is a way to allow a wildcard in the productId in driver.compose.json? I have tried 101.301.\*, but it does not detect the device. At the moment, I will need to add the serial number of each of my devices to driver.compose.json. Can anyone think of a workaround?

Thanks for the help.

I’m just wondering if anyone had any ideas on how to get around this? Is there a way I could add the serial numbers via the app settings perhaps?

I just don’t think it’s possible without changes to the Homey SDK (or adding a million possible product id’s in your app’s `app.json`), for which you need Athom’s help. You can ask them through [support@athom.com](mailto:support@athom.com) or by asking around on the #developers channel on Homey’s [Community Slack](https://slack.athom.com/).
