MakerAPI returning lots of "null" values.. can these be removed?

🧰 Built-In Apps and Drivers Maker API
1

I've got 52 devices (some real, some virtual) added to the MakerAPI app. I noticed recently that when fetching all of these devices (with full details) I get back 757 attributes that are simply "null"

I did a grep for ": null," in my formatted results to illustrate this (snippet below).

I realize not ever driver is created by Hubitat but I do feel like there's no point in returning a null value via JSON.. to me a null value is the same as not being there - unlike an empty "" value which does have some meaning.

Hopefully others agree too.. that's a lot of extra data/bandwidth which could easily be avoided.

Worst-case - could you add an optional flag to hide these null values? That wouldn't change the results for existing apps that rely on MakerAPI (even though I'm not sure it would)

Here's the null attributes I get from my 52 Hubitat devices..

I use MakerAPI to expose HE devices to Node-RED. If "null" values were always suppressed, there would be no way to know the full list of data attributes that the device publishes. Eg: a particular value is "null" at the point in time when an event occurs and it is an attribute that I want to use. how would I know what the attribute name/value would be?

Or somehow all the data attributes published by each device would need to be maintained somewhere. Or am I misunderstanding what you are saying?

Most of the attributes I see in your example output appear to be custom attributes. As such, if the devices are not populating those customs attributes (i.e. they are 'null'), why not simply comment them out of the custom drivers you're using?

I'm not sure about that. Both the examples below are using built-in drivers (Virtual Switch and Lutron Switch).

But, I guess from my perspective, a request for "all devices with full details" is something I would do very very rarely.

I doubt they would be willing to change the response format at this point. There are too many apps and integrations using it as is that would break if they changed it, even with an option.

I always do devices/* install of /all, as historically it was faster (about the same now) and it fixed a few bugs in the /all response format (I think that might have been fixed by now though - haven't tried it in a year+), but I don't think that changes what you are seeing in terms of nulls.

If there was enough customer interest, they could always add a new query of course. But I think it would take a lot more than just one person wanting it.

I don't even use that API in my app but just used it to illustrate the point of all the null values returned (757 from 52 devices). I also get back all of the null attributes in the individual device info requests.

That makes sense too.. there's also the case of a non-null value being replaced/updated to null which would require the null value to be passed in a subsequent call.

I wasn't really expecting anything to change.. but, adding an optional param wouldn't break anything either and probably a really easy change to make.

I was just pointing out how much extra bandwidth is taken up. If it's all local traffic it's not that big of a deal for sure. But, the cloud version likely does add up to the total traffic that Hubitat has to account for.

The JSON serializer I'm using (GSON) doesn't serialize null values (ie: sending "key": null) by default so I'm not used to seeing these values passed. However, I did a little more digging and another serializer (Jackson) does so clearly it's not an issue (how Hubitat is returning data)..

FWIW - a LOT more data could be saved by introducing some way to 'push' changes via the cloud API's vs polling anyway: Access /eventstream from cloud? Or, alternative ways for hub to 'push' updates to a mobile device

/eventstream and /logstream are still not official, although @gopher.ny said recently that they’ve been around long enough that they might make them permanent.

Cloud access will require support for secure websockets.

Hi -- this is a very old thread but I was hoping to resurrect it just to make this request again. I'm not sure who the right person at Hubitat would be to mention so if someone else knows can they reply and tag them?

My specific request is for the MakerAPI /devices endpoint to take an optional parameter which when set will not return 'null' attributes (attributes which values are "null")

for example:

http://192.168.0.201/apps/api/38/devices/all?access_token=ABC&ignoreNull=true

I understand that not every app would want this change. And it's also true that you wouldn't be able to know the full list of attributes if not every one is returned (null or not). But, since it's an optional parameter nothing changes unless the param is passed.

But, I also believe many users of this API wouldn't be affected in any way without these null values. Most 'users' of the API are probably only interested in a few key attributes anyway. And that leads to why it would be beneficial to make this change:

Many 3rd party device drivers have a lot of attributes defined and at least in my testing there's a lot of them that don't typically get set. Sure, each driver could be rewritten to define fewer attributes (maybe some of these could be defined elsewhere?). But, this change seems like a pretty easy way to reduce the payload size for anything that isn't as optimized as the built-in device drivers.

For example, I have 3 specific devices that each take up 14k of data in JSON form with most of these values being "null". 1 example is listed below in full:
