It is not a bug.
Why do You want to read from disabled device?

It is indeed by design to ignore disabled devices/controllers etc.
This will save resources on the ESP and allow for better responsiveness and more stable operations.

I use dummy devices as variables so no need to keep it updating regularly (in log: EVENT: ...). I want to control them manually by reading and writing as needed. I do not know well how ESPeasy works but I guest keeping device disabled helps saving resource.

I guess enabling the dummy device will not use many resources, so please try with the dummy device enabled.
