Please, ANSWER this question AT https://stackoverflow.com/questions/45086461/device-is-created-when-sending-measures-to-non-existing-device-iotagent-ul
Question:
Device is created when sending measures to non existing device - IoTAgent-UL
Description:
We've discovered a bug in the IoT Agent Ultralight.
If we try to send a measure to a non existing device, we'll get a 404 - DEVICE_NOT_FOUND error but at the same time a device without any attribute will be created in IoTA's and Orion CB's database.
When I say a device without any attribute I refer to the following:
{
    "device_id": "test",
    "service": "MyService",
    "service_path": "/MyServicePath",
    "entity_name": "MyEntity:test",
    "entity_type": "MyEntity",
    "attributes": [],
    "lazy": [],
    "commands": [],
    "static_attributes": []
}
This is a very important bug, because it's really simple to create as many devices as someone wants and that could eat our database space.
Does someone know how to solve it?
