Re: Dashticz V3 - Automatic installation

1 off topic question. What is the positive reason to use Docker? I read its because of containers. But why. Just install is the same right? Strange that nobody answered this question from months ago... I'd like to know too. Why is this installed in a Docker container? Can't it be made optional? I ...

Re: Kamstrup Multical 402 Python Script

Just a quick post to say thanks to the people in this thread, which helped me a lot in reading my Kamstrup 403 meter with Domoticz. I had to figure out a few things, so I thought it would be good to post them here so people who are starting with this have a little bit more info. The scripts in the ...

Re: How to monitor your internet connection with virtual custom sensors

Aparently, I'm the only one that runs Domoticz using SSL... :) When it didn't work, I looked at the command to start the Domoticz daemon and noticed 'SSLWWW 443', so I tried the curl line on it's own on the command line, with the -v (verbose) switch and saw the 'connection refused' message in the ...

Re: Cloudless thermostats - more secure and private

Nice writeup! What I'm wondering is: what about OpenTherm? I'm about to upgrade my 20-year old heating installation with a new one, which is an OpenTherm compatible installation. With it comes a Remeha Isense thermostat, which isn't a 'smart thermostat', but it allows programming and speaks ...

Re: Birdi Smoke/CO/Air Quality Smart Detector

Nice! That vThings sensor is exactly what I needed! I was planning on building something like it myself with an Arduino and some sensors, but this seems as complete as it can get. I wanted to make environmental monitors for my bedroom and living room (integrated kitchen) and one outside for polution ...
