Re: RTL_433 with watchman oil tank

Hi Rowan I found with the Watchman sensors each time you pair them with their 'display' (a mains plug with a bar graph) it generated a new ID. So you could do that if the Apollo ones are the same. Sounds like some of your neighbours may have the same type sensor. I used to get a good 100 metre range ...

Re: Good rain sensor solution

Hi Yes forum is pretty active. The rain sensors operate on buckets as you probably know. Each time the bucket fills of rain, this equals a certain amount (mm) of rain. This triggers a pulse in the sensor, which is sent via 433mhz. They all work this way, its just Domoticz knows about certain devices ...

Re: Get min/max readings for sensors for 24hrs [Solved]

Thanks for taking the time to reply. I didn't end up getting the correct values in the end. I'm not convinced its a good way to do what I wanted anyway, especially with it having to seemingly store values. I instead wrote a few lines of PowerShell that pulls the json for the sensor, gets todays ...

Re: Get min/max readings for sensors for 24hrs [Solved]

Ahh I see. So the script itself has to build the min/max values for each day. I kind of thought that would be data that Domo would store for each sensor, but I see. Thanks for explaining and Ill test over the next few days. I expect to send out a HTML report eventually but still learning dzVents !

Re: Get min/max readings for sensors for 24hrs [Solved]

The reason I ask is I added the maxHours part, but the min/max in the report are not correct still. Outdoor Temp: Max: 14.1 Min: 12.2 And yet todays values look like: "2020-06-28 00:00:00",79,12.2 "2020-06-28 00:05:00",79,12 "2020-06-28 00:10:00",79,12.1 "2020-06-28 00:15:00",79,12.1 "2020-06-28 00 ...

Re: Update of Lua in domoticz imminent with potential effects on Lua and dzVents scripts

Thanks for pointing this change out. I hit it on 4.11464 regarding lua scripts using the power function. Minor change fixed it.

Keep meaning to update the Wiki with my versions and solution but page at https://www.domoticz.com/wiki/Lua_-_Oil_Tank_Monitor now has the bug.

Re: Read British Gas Hive Heating temperature

I ended up using @MikeF 's script. Works perfectly for me for now. I would of liked to use Hive plugin but dont have any intention of using their bulbs etc. The TRV's look tempting however but it shouldnt take much to add to the scripts as and when. I suspect they will report back a current temp ...

Custom Sensors and Data Push

I couldn't really find anything about this. I recently have started exporting sensor data to influxdb so I can do deep analitics over longer periods of time than the native domo store. I use quite a lot of custom sensors on my deployment (for level checks, percentages etc) and so I would like their ...

Re: Google Assistant -> Domoticz Using IFTTT

@JoeBot not working for me.

I have a couple of issues not working for me

1) I had to add 'from collections import namedtuple' to stop initial error

2) When I run the script I get:

got this far
got a pb instance

I then type the command:
#command Off 1233

Nothing happens.

Can you advise ?

Thanks

Re: RTL_433 with watchman oil tank

I did some work on this and finally got round to pushing out some info. See my GitHub project at https://github.com/kevsterd/sdr2domo This uses a container on my Pi running Domoticz to read the RTL433 SDR and push the values from the tank sensors (I have three) into Domotics. Using some LUA I then ...
