Just sharing my working logrotate conf for domoticz (the key settings here being su and copytruncate ):


/your_path/to/domoticz.log {
#replace the above path with the path to your domoticz logfile
su (your_domoticz_logfile_user) (your_domoticz_logfile_group)

@waaren: Thx for setting this up. Highly appreciated!
Is it possible to do this:
dz.variables(timeVar).time.hour, dz.variables(timeVar).time.minutes
As far as I understand from the documentation, its a string (even though its a date var)


yes this works. I tested this with uservars type ...

What I can't figure out is why you use:
on = { variables ...

@elmortero: thanks, that helps. Script is working like a charm, it can use minor updates for version 2.4.X of dzVents . Will test and submit my latest version here as well.

@waaren: but unfortunately the var does not change that often (its more a setting)

Hi all, you can not get a new api key anymore for WU. Also the API description seems not visible anymore.Anyone has a link to the API description that works? Or maybee an ofline copy?

Hi,

That is not exactly what i was lookling for. I want the time set in the domoticz variable to be the trigger. So 7:30 in the variable should be the trigger to kick off the script. For now I have a 15 minute time trigger and check in the script if the domo variable time is the same as the system ...

Hi All,

As I'm using dzVents for all my Lua scripts now, i stumbled into a thought, but not sure how to do this or even if it is possible.

I created a script controling my blinds. It lowers the blinds at a fixed time in the morning and raises them in the evening. Both at a fixed time coded in the ...

Thx @dannybloe, was expecting that.

Hi all,

I have a table in global_data that looks like this:
harmony = {
poweroff = {
['name']='PowerOff',
['índex']=10,
['lightscene']='video'
},
television = {
['name']='Televisie',
['índex']=20,
['lightscene']='video'
}
}
it is part of the helpers
I can call it with:
domoticz.log ...

in dzvents you can do this by defining this at the top of the execute section: local scriptname = domoticz.devices("dashboardname")


Was overthinking this again. Using local vars is not very helpfull. If you have coded device names like PirLivingroom and PirHalway, you want to use filters or ...

in dzvents you can do this by defining this at the top of the execute section: local scriptname = domoticz.devices("dashboardname")


Good suggestion, thinking out loud this might me something to define as global variables is dzVents for the time beeing, however there is more than dzVents when ...

Hi All,

In other platforms I see the use of a "device name" and a "friendly name". The device name can be something like: "VirtualSwitchFoo", where the friendly name can be "Foo switch".
This would help using more complex names as the device name for use in scripts, while the dashboard stays ...

@D'rMorris sometimes life is simple and an error easily overlooked. domoticz/in instead of Domoticz/in was thé golden tip!
Thx!!

Ralph
Very welcome, glad you got it sorted out! Since the other flow was working, do you have multiple MQTT configutations defined? I have only 1 domoticz/in ...

Thx @waaren and @D'rMorris for the anwers,

however it does not seem to work. I'm also using NodeRed. It creates:
{"command":"udevice","idx":229,"svalue":"unknown"}
However when pushed to Domoticz/in, nothing happens.
I dubble checked the idx twice.
For reference, this:
{"command":"switchlight ...

What is the json string I need to create and push through MQTT to update a text dummy text sensor with a new text?

from this wiki page

http://domoticzIP:domoticzPORT//json.htm?type=command&param=udevice&idx=IDX&nvalue=0&svalue=TEXT
IDX = id of your device (This number can be found in the ...

Hi all,

Probably a simple question, but i’m strugling with it.
What is the json string I need to create and push through MQTT to update a text dummy text sensor with a new text?

Thx

Ralph

Thx @dannybloe, that was exactly what I was looking for. This works!

I haven't had coffee yet, so l'm at risk here. As far as I can see it is. Let me explane my thinking.
prevWifiSwitch takes the values of oldPresence (=prevPresence). It is concatenated with the value of a part of a virtual Switch that is in assetName These are values like Ralph, Anneke. So in the ...
