plugin: Alexa4P3 some item attributes not defined

[CannonRS]

I'm getting the warning "Attribute is undefined" from "lib.metadata" because the item attributes alexa_alias, alexa_range_delta and alexa_color_temp_delta are not defined in plugin.yaml.

alexa_alias is commented out in the metadata and has the description 'only for Payload V2 needed'.

I can't find any hint, that the attributes alexa_range_delta and alexa_color_temp_delta are implemented at all. So there is no need to define them in the metadata.

I'm still using the alexa_alias. It's working for me.

The alexa_alias I can see it working in the Web Interface, but it isn't in the documentation anymore.
The alexa_range_delta is neccessary for shutters (see here: https://github.com/Andrek01/Alexa4PayloadV3).
The alexa_color_temp_delta is not longer in the documentation, but it's using in init.py.

I am getting similar errors for some of my self-made plugins when shNG is firing up. Since years, those plugins have device-specific attributes defined in the corresponding items.yaml (one example are the 'e0'..'e10' definitions here, which are producing 11 lines of error messages on every startup now).

I learned from a discussion with the developers that this behavior is on purpose due to planned, yet not implemented shNG features, and that the errors would disappear in the newer shNG versions (which i don't run, also on purpose) after renaming the attributes at all possible appearances from original_attribute_name to my_original_attribute_name.

As everything else is working fine, and the error is not an error, I decided to simply ignore this and to live with the ~30 error lines during shNG startup. I recommended the same to the several plugin users who contacted me why these errors appeared in their log files suddenly out of a nowhere.

@Andrek01 Could you look into it?

I will take care about that, but it will take some time. The next two weekends are completly booked, so it will last till end of the month.

No problem, I just mentioned you, because I thought you were not aware of this issue in the plugins repository.

Now, since you accepted the invitation, I can assign new issues to you, if they are in relation to your plugins. 😄
