OK, I need some guidance/advice. While working on the type/data structures, I noticed the Philips Hue code uses two types of hardware to distinguish between the 'basic' on/off and dimmer lights and the RGBW types. The first category is defined as a pTypeLighting2 and the second category as ...

I have been fiddling with Domoticz and other popular open source HA systems over the last few months and decided to go for Domoticz. Great stuff, BTW! So, I started from scratch to build it out step by step. The first step was to get the readings from my P1 smart meter via the network. That works ...

I had no stability issues before (let's forget the first year of introduction... ).
Will do a few more tests and maybe a factory reset and see if still occurs. Next step, microwave oven.....? ;o)

Maybe you can create a script like i did with Curl? On the one side it's responding with 200 to a variable if it's on, and the variable is empty when its not responding thus making it $null Makes sense? Sure, the script is working. But the Horizon is not very cooperative. After a few tests with the ...

I've tested accessing the DeviceDescription.xml 'page' through port 62137 while the Horizon is on and it replies with OK. When in standby, I receive 'connection refused'. That confirms Paul's findings. It feels a bit clumsy to determine the device status by the fact that it does not respond properly ...

Would be good if you guys indeed can report back! I have to say though that i have my box in the High Energy mode because i have a mini streamer in my bedroom. Luckily no fan noise and the devicedescription is not available when on "standby" So, even in 'high energy' mode the box does not respond ...

Hi Paul, You really went to great lengths! :D I will give it a try and report back on my findings. Indeed one of the big issues with the Horizon box is how it handles everything related to power, toggle on/off, standby, eco mode, etc. I suspect we might be able to also get the DeviceDescription.xml ...

The Horizon is giving me a hard time. It is connected in the local network and the remote control via the Ziggo App worked for a while. Now the app doesn't connect to the Horizon Mediabox XL (as they call them nowadays) anymore, for no apparent reason. I can still access the admin panel via 192.168 ...

Quick question: how do I find out which port number to use? Is it always 62137? (I get no response) EDIT: when running the switch_upc.php script I get the following error: PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected 'function' (T_FUNCTION) in /home/pi/domoticz/scripts/switch_ziggo.php on line 49 A ...

Very nice, thank you Tristan!
I just started using Domoticz and this is an interesting hack... will give it a try.
(my bridge is not 'upstairs', but I am lazy as well )

That worked like a charm, both for electricity and gas.
Thanks again.

Thanks. I will give it a try.

Thanks for this suggestion. That should work ;o).
Preferably, I would like to do it the other way around: have the P1 interface send it's data to Domoticz instead of having Domoticz poll the device.

I just started using Domoticz (on a Pi3) and it looks very promising! Having a Smart Meter with P1 interface (DSMR v4.2 Landis+Gyr 350), I would like to collect usage data over the network as my Pi is not near the Smart Meter. I stumbled upon this very nice article ( http://domoticx.com/p1-poort ...
