Re: Update of text device disappears

Same here, I have a text device logging METAR (aviation related meteo information) every half hour that did not show any glitch, updated from Lua. Seems unrelated, but take care "textlog" HTTP/JSON API was deprecated and no more usable: https://wiki.domoticz.com/Domoticz_API/JSON_URL%27s#Warning ...

Re: Domoticz version 2025.1 released

Hello, no issue as well: All went smoothly for a setup mostly OZW and Z4D based, with my own scripts that were already on par with previous APIs changes.

Thanks a lot for this release!

Re: [2025.1] release infos

There are still some fixes in the Domoticz install script to come over the libssl1.1 issue for newer RPi OS's. Thanks for the info! On the update topic, one request you may consider: It's now locked (I presume to keep them clear to read)... But as a result, users feedback for a specific version are ...

[2025.1] release infos

Hello, Thanks a lot for this release but as the base topic is locked, not allowing to ask info/give feedback, I create this one with a question: Did not see info about libssl change that was earlier said to be planned for next stable? => Would like to know if this release must be managed in sync ...

Re: Easiest way to migrate Openzwave to ZWave-JS-UI

I see your point on Zwave vs Zigbee about the lifecycle (although it will be there long enough so i am not in a hurry yet), but not the complixity. if i'm correct (i am not a zigbee user, so not 100% sure) then Zigbee is also not natively integrated in domoticz, but requires additional plugins ...

Re: Home Battery Simulation and dynamic vs fixed energy contract comparison

Considering the ROI, I tell everyone for now it justs cost money. However, around october (after one year of Tibber and a battery) I hope to prove myself wrong (at least a bit). PV+Battery historically only made sense to provide electricity for buildings in secluded places that could not be linked ...

Re: Easiest way to migrate Openzwave to ZWave-JS-UI

openzwave is no longer maintained.... It's great that within domoticz you can still use it, but that's just for users to give them more time to migrate to the new version. Looking at the market/what you can shop for, IMO ZWave is dying & Zigbee took the wind, despite better interoperability for ...

Re: Bug with Replace Device and Python Plugin

I would advise you to buy a new Zigbee Dongle and use the Zigbee4Domoticz plugin. (if you do not want to use Zigbee2MQTT). Saves you a lot of work and frustration.... When I started with Zigbee & Z4D plugin, I wanted to do some replace to keep some existing devices (Zwave using integrated OZW) data ...

Re: DomoticZ updates

Maybe the stable should be called LTS 8-) This would mean having to support them for long, so backport fixes from newest betas => More work maintaining 2 branches & you already do a lot... Still believe current approach to label a stable when this makes sense in terms of features addition since ...

Re: DomoticZ updates

As I said hereupper, there is some periods with heavier development/changes. In the past when I used beta because I needed mostly to support new HW or features recently added I always checked if this was smooth period that should be OK to pick a beta. More betas could probably be promoted as stable ...

Re: DomoticZ updates

Not sure droping stables at all is the way to go. Sometimes there is big changes ongoing and for someone not checking github to see if there is no important changes this may be risky. Can accept this when some additions to your system needs those and users testing. Otherwise stability is a strenght ...

You may also see wiki, as there is some fail2ban configurations to handle such domoticz traces to dynamically ban (for some time) the IP addresses responsible for too many connect attempts.

Re: Moving average usage

Take care examples are just averaging values not taking into account the time they last.

Re: DzVents Script reports sometimes a wrong value

Did not saw any indication that updates were in sync exactly every 5mn. So I believed reads were asynchronous vs updates so that's just based on a sliding 1mn (60s) window that may fall on a 6s data read time over 5x1mn slices (HW update time). My guess was reading exactly when, unfortunately, an ...
