Re: Python plugin: Presence detection from wireless router

Awesome plugin! I've been using the check_device_online.py method for a long time but never found it particularly reliable (cron attempting to start multiple instances and the active instance dying leaving the PID file in place meaning it never started again). I have one question - is it possible to ...

Re: RTL433 over rtl_tcp

For now I've created a systemd service (here) which creates an ssh tunnel between my Domoticz host and my rtl_sdr host and that seems to work.

Re: RTL433 over rtl_tcp

I thought perhaps the output flag (-F csv) which is hard-coded into the Domoticz code (Rtl433.cpp) might be conflicting with the rtl_tcp connection but I've just called the following on the commandline: rtl_433 -F csv -d rtl_tcp://192.168.1.211:1234 ...and it both connects and returns CSV-formatted ...

Re: RTL433 over rtl_tcp

OK there is something definately scewey about how the Domoticz implementation of rtl_433 is trying to connect to remote rtl_tcp connections. I have used ssh to forward port 1234 on the Domoticz server to port 1234 of the rtl_sdr server, my Domoticz rtl_433 config is still set to rtl_tcp://192.168.1 ...

Re: RTL433 over rtl_tcp

DJ I am not familiair with the software, I am wel known to the dongle and I love the thingy ! You mentioned Server and Client. In your config I see "localhost" Which would mean server and client are the same machine? Is that correct? No. The screenshot shows a rather convoluted setup where rtl_mus ...

RTL433 over rtl_tcp

I've just got a NooElec SDR dongle which I had planned to plug into my Raspbery Pi 4 directly (which lives outdoors in an IP66 case) but on doing so the temperature inside the case shot up by over 20 degrees so I've had to put the SDR dongle elsewhere. On the remote host (the machine hosting the rtl ...

Re: DzVents Not Switching Device On/Off

Some weird stuff going on today, all my DzVents scripts stopped working, Blockly didn't work either, and my RPi is recording 80oC temperatures! I've reinstalled Domoticz, copying over my database and external scripts and it appears to be working again. Still no real understanding of why it stopped ...

DzVents Not Switching Device On/Off

Hi I have a Sonoff TH16 with a heater connected to the switch side, a thermometer then takes the temperature readings in the room being monitored. There are virtual devices in Domoticz to match the switch and the themometer. For a couple of days, this has worked perfectly, the switch is turned on ...

Re: Find My iPhone implementation in LUA script

It appears the script stops working once 2FA is enabled, and 2FA will be mandatory soon - anybody who is testing the iOS 11 beta's will have already had 2FA enforced upon them.

Re: Increase Output time for command

I've got a couple of Energenie MIHO002 (the single sockets) and a MIHO005 (the 4-gang socket) and I get similar issues, the MIHO002's will sometimes turn off but not on again (of the 3 only 1 exhibits this behaviour) whilst the MIHO005 will sometimes be completely unresponsive until I use the green ...

Re: Step by step guide: Sonos integration

Quick heads up to inform that 'playerState' is now 'playbackState' in the node-sonos-http JSON response. Aside from that, this is working perfectly using the dzVents method. Thanks all!!

Re: Cheap humidity/Thermometer sensor?

Hi I received one of these devices today (along with my RFXtrx433E). The RFXtrx433E is up and running (connected to a couple of LightwaveRF devices and my Energenie plug sockets) but I cannot get it to pair with the themometer. It's a WH5 device as shown below, I've put the batteries in and enabled ...

Re: RFXTrx433e & Energenie 13A Socket pairing.

One final question, should the communication between the Energenie sockets and Domoticz be two-way? i.e. if I manually turn the socket on/off using the button on the socket, should it report to Domoticz that it's been turned on/off?

Re: RFXTrx433e & Energenie 13A Socket pairing.

Mmmm perhaps the MIHO005 isn't supported (it's the control and monitor variant). I've managed to pair 3 MIHO002's with no trouble.

Has anybody paired a MIO005 - any reason why it wouldn't work?
