Issue Converting Driver from ST to HE: Cannot get property 'label' on null object

Hello!

I'm converting my home from ST to HE, and first off, man, Loving HE! So fast, and so easy! Everything just works! = )

But I'm having issues porting a driver over from ST. I wrote it for a App I wrote "Smart Room". My App ported over just fine, but when I try to save the Driver, I get the error:

Cannot get property 'label' on null object on line 19

I searched the forum for that error, but wasn't able to pull anything applicable from what I read. Line 19 is the 'metadata' line in the below code.

Does anyone have any insights into what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks for your time,
Nick

There are no tiles in Hubitat drivers. You should remove (or comment out) all of that.

at the least, you will want to remove or comment out the simulator and tiles sections of metadata as those aren't used.

check out this thread that has more details about the differences between ST and Hubitat drivers and what the minimum changes are needed to get it to load without errors:

Commenting out the tiles and simulator sections worked! :slight_smile: Thanks!

Thanks for the link to that thread, I had read the first post, but didn't realize there was good information spread below!

Much Appreciated! :slight_smile: Thanks!
