Hi,

We have a setup with a large number of devices, distributed across several zones.
As we frequently add new devices to these zones, it would be a great feature if you could specify which zone a new device should belong to, when creating it using the API. It could also be useful to be able to bind device credentials through the API.

Just an update: we are currently designing API v3 (to be released in v2.2) which we hope to implement in the following 3-6 months. It will expose Zones and Credentials, as well as the ability to set Zone and bind credentials for device creation.

We will publish a draft of the proposed API endpoints and objects in the Beta section of the forum once finalized for comments, please subscribe there if you wish to be notified when that is ready :)

That is great news Tomas! Will remove what is a currently manual task from our Unimus setup and shorten the distance between a piece of equipment coming online and being discovered and being properly backed up.

Look forward to it.

I agree, great news indeed!
This really helps automate adding new devices properly via scripting.
