Thank you so much @besix. Now I get it. Can't set that button type, so I just have to forego that status. Got the domotize bridge working for Alexa after read and run tests with this: https://da-bridge.tarthorst.net/ I hate to open port 80 or 443 with my ddns for alexa. Nevertheless, its an eval I ...

Re: Shelly mqtt

OK, I found one of my problems, you cannot install both shelly mqtt and mqtt gateway in the hardware section of Domoticz. When I stopped the Mqtt gateway, the two devices have disappeared.
Nevertheless, I am still not able to update that mqtt device in Alexa via domoticz bridge.

Re: Water flow control project

I finally come up with a design idea On the poolside, use a battery-powered waterproof 433Mhz, Zigbee or Z-Wave transmitter combined with a float sensor to detect the water level. This can be bolted into the skimmer cover. I have tested a wired solution with a float sensor in the pool, but because ...

Turn on/off switches based on Weather

I have a sonoff basic switch loaded with ESP Easy, which works fine using the timer in domoticz. My goal is trying to turn on the switch at a prescribed time only if certain weather conditions are met, such as if the wind is less than x Km/h and or temp is in a certain range (whatever it is in the ...

Re: Water flow control project

@zicht "Why not a floating sensor that makes a contact when below a certain level and then time the value needed." You are absolutley right. I have thought about it, however, you know the wall of an inground swimming pool is made of thick cement and tiles, in addition, it is surrounded by a cement ...

The filer pump circulates the pool water through the filter to keep the pool clean. Since the water in the pool evaporates, the water ...

Re: Python Plugin : Broadlink RM2 V4

I think I know my problem. It has nothing to do with the plugins. It must have some thing to do with my Broadlink RM firmware. I have not been able to updated the firmware with an IOS device, I need an Android phone to make the update.

Re: Python Plugin : Broadlink RM2 V4

Thanks zak45 I just realized that this plugin must be running under domoticz 3.9 or higher, I am running 3.7. So I will try to update first. However, I got this update problem "404 not found", I am going to work that. Hi I am back on broadlink. I have re-compiled a fresh domoticz and re-loaded the ...

Re: update domoticz from 3.7 (2017 version)

@waaren Ok. everything is working, including restore database and load domoticz on reboot. Thank you. I tried to issue commands for updater described in the wiki. I have few problems 1. there is no monit in /etc/init.d/, perhaps it is an outdated reference not used today? 2. if I goto ~/domoticz and ...

Re: update domoticz from 3.7 (2017 version)

@waaren U are absolutely correct. After I copied what you indicated below, domoticz started without any problem and I don't think the log is necessary. I can't edit the domoticz.sh file in the /etc/init.d/ anyway. right now the sh file in dev-domoticz has added log commands, but I don't think it is ...

here you go domoticz.txt Can you please share the contents of /etc/init.d/domoticz.sh (between code tags please) I think a step should be added in the build instructions and that is to copy from /dev-domoticz to the directory you are going to use for ' production' You want to keep the production ...
