Re: Good rain sensor solution

Look at this. https://www.reichelt.nl/nl/nl/regensensor-12-v-dc-m-152-p118916.html?search=regensensor&&r=1 In combination with a RF switch as Zigbee, Z-Wave or 433MHz you have a good rain sensor with heating. And a 12 volt supply. I have just started to use one of these, wired to a Raspberry Pi ...

Re: What hardware are you using for Domoticz?

Intel NUC as master with RFXcom and Open z-wave dongle and Raspberry pi 2 as slave with zigate and also acting as the ha-bridge and no-IP duc.
Both using node-red to monitor each other and power cycle in the event of a crash.

If you set the debug node to show the "Complete msg object and attatch it to the parse node then in the debug window you will see the elements of the data object, if you then expand this by clicking on it you will see at the bottom a section called "parts", expand that and you will see the "index ...

Re: Coronavirus Covid-19 statistics to Domoticz custom sensor using Node Red

Just a small point. Whilst the 'Throttle' node limits the data to the first set the query comes across, which in the case of countries is today's data. It might be better to explicitly limit the data table selected by specifying a 'Switch' node between the 'Select country' and 'Parse' nodes to ...

ok, I understand now, but after the changes the function parse returns: "function : (error) "TypeError: Cannot read property 'replace' of undefined"" Check the array index numbers used in the 'replace' function. It sounds like one (or more) might be out of range. ie: not in the array. As the arrays ...

You need to look through the msg.payload.array by sending it to the debugging panel and then match the elements with the figures shown in https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/ for a given country. the array elements appear to be different to those that the OP has used.

Re: Moving to Intel Nuc from Raspberry

I moved from a Raspberry Pi to a NUC a couple of years ago. From memory I think that with the 433mHz devices it was as simple as backing up the Domoticz database & plugging the Rfxtrx into the NUC, installing Domoticz then restoring the backup. I run Domoticz in Ubuntu. Out of interest, what are the ...

Re: How do I view the code for a switch I added?

The device IDs for 'ARC' & 'X10' switches appear to be the ASCII decimal codes for the letters selected in the dialog to create the virtual switch, instead of the letters themselves. I thought that this just applied to Virtual switches when I mentioned it in the bug section last year.

It's when you are creating a new switch 'manually' and you select the slave radio button. Then from the drop down that appears titled 'Device:' there is nothing to select. The screen you have shown is to select a slave device for a master (not too sure of the difference between the two approaches ...

Re: Notification (using PushOver)

@waarren
I've just realised that in the 'Sendnotification' method the 'extradata' can be used to specify the device.

So in future I shall use that rather than curl.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

@Kasvand
I've added reference to this to the Wiki page. Well done for creating it.

Re: Notification (using PushOver)

The risk of using curl directly in an event script is that you block the entire event system for the duration of the call. You are quite correct, I should have mentioned that. Although in my experience the Pushover API calls are handled in a negligible amount of time. It also allows for sending a ...
