Sorry to keep spamming the forum with questions. New user, trying to get the main motion detectors in my house linked into Hubitat, so that Rooms Manager lights work again. Thanks @bangali
I'm attempting to create child devices (an alarm system, that has 8 motion detectors). There is communication between the alarm system and Hubitat, as I can arm the alarm through Hubitat and all 8 child devices are listed on the device page, but there is something wrong with the coding about adding a child device. The child devices are not added, or there is another step I'm not sure how to do. (How to add a child device?? )
Log errors There are 8 of each of these, one for each Motion detector.
Couldnt add device, probably already exists: groovy.lang.MissingMethodException: No signature of method: dev15385275343371522413665.addChildDevice() is applicable for argument types: (java.lang.String, java.lang.String, org.codehaus.groovy.runtime.GStringImpl, java.lang.Long, java.util.LinkedHashMap) values: [Hubitat, Open/Closed Sensor, alarmchildzone1, 1, [name:MD - Front Door]]

Here is the appropriate spot in the Device Code (there is more, this is just the appropriate code). Full Code here: https://1drv.ms/t/s!AnXEg8RBC3NHld5BgaBlQm7uynBkgw (although that is still with the SmartThings language).
