Is there a way with the system.device.addDevice to chose which gateway a device is added to? We just moved to a scaled out arch and wanted to ease the adding of tags and devices.Thx, Jake ---

You will need to use the gateway messaging system for this to call the system.device.addDevice on the remote gateway. You may want to consolidate a couple of your most used messages into a single project that is common across the gateways to keep confusion down etc... ---
