Hi, The documentation of the JSON interface states that the name of the variable is required when updating the value of the variable. I have seen examples that also use the idx, and posts that hint that both are necessary. My tests show that only the name is required (and the new value of course ...

I does indeed! I think I missed it because I started reading from index 0, not being sure what the first index would be, and the script failed (trying to create a string from nil, never reaching index 1.

Thanks for that!

All, I'm rather new to lua, but not too programming. To loop through heating zones in trying to put their names in an array that I can then iterate over to do something for each of them. Not knowing the syntax I read lua.org to try to learn the language. So i try something like: local names ...

The problem is that I suspect there will be cases when one may want to have such a script that is run when domoticz starts, not necessarily when the Pi reboots. I don't know if this is possible, but would be nice.

Sorry, got it. There was also an advance link on the same page that allows me to accept the certificate. Solved.

Sorry to resurrect this, but I'm having issues with https support. The relevant part of /etc/init.d/domoticz.sh has: DAEMON_ARGS="-daemon" #DAEMON_ARGS="$DAEMON_ARGS -daemonname $NAME -pidfile $PIDFILE" DAEMON_ARGS="$DAEMON_ARGS -www 8080" DAEMON_ARGS="$DAEMON_ARGS -sslwww 443" This is confirmed by ...

I guess I could have a script running when starting and going through all valves, but I really don't like that because that script will need to know about all valves. I suspect setting them on if they already are on should work, but I have not tried. Can an event be triggered by the start of ...

That is more or less what I do, but I do it on a per zone basis, when an event is triggered about the zone (change in temperature or boost requested). In other words, I was trying to get my script not do anything with the other zones than the one for which an event was triggered. My logic works ...

No worries! Let me explain a bit more. My underfloor heating has a number of actuators: 1 valve per zone, plus 1 pump and 1 valve for the whole manifold. Whenever heat is requested for any of the zones (either temperature too low or a boost is requested) then the corresponding zone valve is opened ...

In fact, I had not realised that my problem was not because of the user variable not matching the current state, but that my switches that control GPIOs on the Pi are remembered to be on (if they were) but the matching GPIOs are not set to on at startup, leading to inconsistency! Indeed, being able ...

So for the record, two answers to the above. $STATUS on line 19 must be surrounded by quotes, to make it a string so that the comparison works, and all the quotes have to be double quotes. I also removed an exit otherwise the scripts only tries once, even if that failed. Finally, the variable STATUS ...

Thanks for that. Doesn't quite work though. After obvious modifications (IP address, variable name, etc.), running it complains: ./atreboot.sh ./atreboot.sh: line 19: [: =: unary operator expected Also, I'm not sure what the type should be. Is that an index in an array of choices? Would zero be the ...

Yes, that is what I mean. But can a domoticz user variable be changed from a shell script? I can't see that anywhere.

Hi all, I have a user variable that counts how many underfloor heating zone valves are activated so that the pump and main valve are shut when the last zone valve is closed. It all works well, until the system is rebooted (my domoticz runs on a RPI3). Indeed, the vlue of the user variable is kept ...

Right click? That brings up the contextual menu of my browser. Left clicking just brings me back to the green man. Left click should do. Try it a couple of times. And if that works, the following question is: Do you have login page authentication enabled? I have tried clicking many times and I ...

Right click? That brings up the contextual menu of my browser. Left clicking just brings me back to the green man.

Trying mydomoticz, which sounds like a great idea. I have registered and got an instance ID. When I login on mydomoticz, it clearly gives me something, but only the "green man". Clicking on any of the links just returns me to that page (apart from the settings page). Just a bit of feedback and ...

I have a similar question. One of my devices (an ESP-12) regularly sends two pieces of information (temperature and voltage) to domoticz, both each time. I only just realised that often only one gets to domoticz. So I was wondering if I could merge the two in one JSON call.
