Re: Read British Gas Hive Heating temperature

It would be interesting to see what changes are needed to the python version, please post when you have done that one :geek: I've had a slight change of plan in that I can now get all the data I need from the script approach rather than using two separate approaches ... if I get anywhere with a ...

Re: Read British Gas Hive Heating temperature

Sorry! That was my fault when I created the instructions, -- came out as - in that line :cry: I've now corrected the original post ;)
No need to apologise at all!! Strange, as it worked when I replaced with a single - not sure why though.

Re: Read British Gas Hive Heating temperature

Fantastic work dgilbert2, thank you so much for sharing the very comprehensive instructions! Boost script is now back at work as before. For others that follow, the instructions worked for me, although I needed to:- update my node.js version with sudo curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_15.x ...

Re: Read British Gas Hive Heating temperature

I've been using modified versions of the excellent script and python routine by MikeF respectively to boost hot water time (when someone takes a long shower in the evening) and to send data to Domoticz. The latter I can live without, the former is much more of a loss! The script fell over several ...

Re: Using BROADLINK RM2 on DOMOTICZ

I have an RM3 mini and I've had mostly successful recording and playback of code using the python routines. Where I'm struggling at the moment is with dimmer that need a short press to turn on / off and a longer one to dim up / down. I can't seem to get the recorded length right. But in the main ...

Re: Wind Chill = 0 from Maplin Weather Station (N96GY)

It does look that way, yes. So is this possible with a script please? If I can get the data and apply a calculation and then update the item it should be ok I think.

Re: [ESP8266] Commercial H801 WiFi RGB-dimmer topic

I have a couple of H801s connected to RGB strings. Everything works fine (LEDs work, I can control both H801s from my phone) except that I can't connect to either of them from my PC. When I attempt to connect to UDP port 30977 on an H801, I get a "Connection Refused" error message. I'm working in ...

Re: Using Milight RGBW controller on white led strip

This should work ok - in fact you could have four separate white strips on the four separate RGBW outputs and control them independently by sending separate values for each of the four outputs. Would need a bit of scripting in Domoticz, but should be doable.

My H801 flash looks to be a 25Q80 - I think all mine are the same so these settings should be ok for you too.
And ESPEasy reports .. Flash Size: 1024 kB

Re: H801 Milight pluggin

Thanks for the work on this module - finally got ESPEasy working with Domoticz ok on RGB, but not White. I can light the white with a HTTP string from internet explorer so the hardware is good.

Has anyone else fixed this please?
