Re: How to connect Domoticz to AWS IoT Core (MQTT)

Did you get anywhere with this? I don't see anything in the Domoticz configuration to set the mutual auth which I think is where you got stuck?

I was contemplating bridging Mosquitto to AWS IoT and I found this:

Re: DMX

I've done some stuff with Modbus using NodeRed and Domoticz but it isn't easy or complete.

I am also looking at DMX because I have seen some nice DMX RGBW controllers and I am interested in a wired solution for some RGBW strip lights.

Re: General Modbus support

Sorry for not visiting the forum for a while, I started a new job and it's occupied all my brain space lately. My Pi has crashed and I haven't recovered it yet so I can't share what I did exactly, but from memory: You need to set up the MQTT as sinks and sources, that should already be in Node-Red ...

Re: General Modbus support

Re: Modbus over TCP and Net.FTcpSocket

I am currently testing using NodeRed and MQTT to communicate with a Modbus PLC, it is working but I have done refinement to do before I share my discoveries.

To do it I am using: https://flows.nodered.org/node/node-red-contrib-modbus

DALI lighting protocol

I've acquired two surplus lights from a commercial building and they are very nice LED ceiling lights. But they use a Tridonic LED driver which supports both the DSI and DALI lighting protocols (it seems they prefer DALI). Does anyone have any experience with DALI? I am thinking of buying a DALI ...

Re: Building a wired RS485 Mysensor network

Actualy, i am building sort of the same setup.. I prefer using wired nodes connected through RS485 for most of my sensors as well. largely because the wiring is/was already there from a previous sensor network setup.. My Energy meter uses Modbus over RS485.. What i did is to conect the modbus/rs485 ...

Re: General Modbus support

What hardware can be used to receive modbus ? As I said in my posting. Many HVAC systems: http://www.syxthsense.com/modbus_controllers and various other IO: http://www.audon.co.uk/rs485_modbus.html I have some of these: http://www.xlogic-plc.com/ [edit] They have a good Modbus document: http://www ...

General Modbus support

Modbus is a standard protocol which covers inputs and outputs, it is used for relays, PLCs, environment sensors, security systems, energy monitors and importantly HVAC systems. There are some specific modbus libraries which support HVAC appliances but it would be nice to have a generic Modbus ...

Wishlist with voting

The forum is good for discussing wishlist items but popular items can age away from the front page because it is only chronological.

I've previously used http://www.telescopeapp.org/ to vote on suggestions internally, perhaps you might consider this? Or another user feedback tool?

Re: ESP8266 native support

I think it would be really nice if you could go to the Hardware section of Dz, select to add a device type of ESPeasy and enter the IP address. From there, somewhat like RFXcomm, I would hope the ESPeasy devices could automatically appear in the Devices section of Dz as "unused". Dz could ...

Re: [154] - CurrentCost Envir support

Am I correct that I CAN use my Currentcost devices, if I get the right datacable USB to RJ45 and then connect it to my Rpi3? Or is it just working on the windows version of domoticz? It was relatively easy for me with my Pi 2, I plugged in the USB cable to the Pi which is running Domoticz and then ...

Re: ONVIF RTSP camera support

+1 for this

I've been looking at replacing an old Samsung DVR with ONVIF cameras and now that I have Domoticz it looks like I could have a good unified interface. But without ONVIF support things aren't great, so I would love it to support this.

Go to the Hardware section and select "Nest Thermostat/Protect" from the "type" field. Give it a name and put in your Nest username/password. The Nest then appears in the devices section to be added.

Re: Modbus

Yes, the 1-Wire code looks good, I don't feel confident to start hacking around with it but I would be interested in offering a modest bounty if anyone is interested in doing it. I am only interested for personal purposes but it is significant enough that I would put money behind it.

Re: Modbus

I'm doing some work with Modbus, it has been something I wanted to do for a while because I have some PLCs which speak Modbus RTU that I want to control. Different to your sensors but I am making a start on things using minimalmodbus in Python: http://minimalmodbus.readthedocs.io/en/master/readme ...
