Not sure if this is a bug or a feature, but the sinope api communicates with a hub, which passes through the name assigned to a thermostat as the device id. All thermostats have to be assigned the same ip address, and I get a 500 server error when attempting to add a second device on the same ip. Strangely, I can successfully add two devices if one uses decimal ip and the other hex ip, but I have 3 stats.
A workaround for the “one device per ip” limitation in Hubitat is to add a 3rd designation for the Device Network ID field.
For example, 192.168.0.1:16021:Den
The code ignores the designation after the second : and it allows the IP to be used by multiple devices. Future updates to Hubitat may break this!

Isn't ST use something like below to get around the ip issue? ip:neviwebHubName:deviceName
Having an app with virtual child devices is probably the right way of doing this, but that’s well outside my skill set (code copying/modifying and begging for help)
