Re: Smart heating control algorithm - new, open-source

It's failing to find the JSON parser module. If you look into the code where 'json2' is first assigned, you'll see what it's looking for, "/home/domoticz/domoticz/scripts/lua/JSON.lua". If that's not your path, just correct the code. If that is your path, check that the lua file exists, permissions ...

Uninstalled plug-in still on 'custom' menu - how to remove?

Hi Folks, I removed the Python plug-ins manager from my system, but the menu item under the 'Custom' menu is still there and selecting it seems to hang. What is making domoticz think that the menu item should be there? The plug-ins folder for it has been removed completely and clearing browser ...

Re: Smart heating control algorithm - new, open-source

@mjray. I think that's a whole other application, rather like manipulating electricity use in line with solar generation and grid prices. You could certainly link something like that with the heating control. One approach might be to play with the user variables that control the min & max flow ...

Re: Domoticz app 2.0

What's with the adverts? I previously paid for premium, premium app tells me I now need to use the 'one' version. Now I've got adverts where I expect to see my devices. That's irritating. It's also not very respectful to people who supported the app by paying for it!. How do I remove the ads? I ...

Re: Smart heating control algorithm - new, open-source

Hi Derik, I've not tried it with a heatpump as I don't have one, but conceptually it should work fine. You'll need to check what it's possible to control - e.g. flow temperature - and set the heat source parameters appropriately. If you can't measure flow/return temperatures, you can dummy those ...

Re: Smart heating control algorithm - new, open-source

You need flowSet, but it's fine for it to be a dummy. In that case, your boiler will always run at the temperature set by the boiler controls; find out what that is and set your min and max boiler temperatures both to that value. Every minute for the sensors is great :-) Same as mine, ESPEasy ...

Re: Smart heating control algorithm - new, open-source

Okay, let's work through those points... Flow & return - for now the return temp isn't used anyway so what you do with it doesn't matter. Return is optional anyway; might be better to omit it in case it is used in the future. To control the flow temperature, you need a boiler with OpenTherm or Bosch ...

Re: custom.css not being read?

Thanks, appreciate your help! So many little things that do or don't work together, I'm learning :-) The UPSAlert and VentSys both use PNG images rather than icons, so that may be the problem there. Now you say it, makes sense that the colour of image can't be changed, but I didn't realise that the ...

Re: custom.css not being read?

If the comments were invalid, then surely the file would have thrown up a syntax error in the browser console? That supports my concern that the file is not being parsed, as my deliberate garbage in the file didn't cause any error either. As for CONFIG.js - as I noted, even 666 permissions didn't ...

custom.css not being read?

Hi All, I've been trying - without success - to make some changes to my dashboard via custom.css, but all the evidence suggests that the custom.css file isn't being parsed at all. This is really frustrating me now! I put some complete garbage in the file to make sure it would throw up an error, and ...

Re: InfluxDB 2.4

Okay, got it fixed :-) Turns out that when the documentation says that the Influx UI will show you the token value just once at creation, what it really means is that it won't do that and in fact you can - and must - click on the token name to see it at any time after creation :roll: Config file is ...

Hi All, Does anyone have domoticz working with InfluxDB v2.4?

When I create a token for domoticz in ...

Re: Z-wave device stopped updating, now won't discover

@gizmocuz, it looks like this might be an issue with the MQTT topics. zwjs2mqtt is publishing this device as 'zwave/9/49/4/Air_temperature', but I see messages for some devices as 'zwave/nodeID_101/...' and also the name, 'zwave/Node_name/...'. I spotted that 'use node name' was set on in the zwjs ...

Re: Z-wave device stopped updating, now won't discover

Yes, zwavejs console is fine. The node has the controller in both lifeline and another group. What's odd, is that domoticz reports discovering the z-wave child devices but does not create domoticz devices to match. Feels like an issue between discovery and creation within domoticz. What happens ...
