Re: Domoticz app 2.0

I've just become aware of the new Domoticz app with subscription model - I understand the rationale, even as someone who previously bought the one-time premium upgrade. In principle, I'm happy to pay £4.99/year for a well-supported app, however there is one key question that I need answering before ...

Re: Options for simple underfloor heating control

It seems my memory was incorrect - current non-smart controller has wired-in thermostat under the floor, which raises a couple of different questions: What are my options for a direct replacement - i.e. an underfloor heating controller (that can use underfloor sensor for temp cutoff, etc) but also ...

Re: Options for simple underfloor heating control

Thanks Geitje and FireWizard for the pointers on the Shelly 1 - not a brand I was familiar with thus far. I could definitely have other use cases for this cheap device if it works ok with Domoticz. Shelly is rated till 16A. I am not know sure if it is wise to switch such high currents over it as ...

Options for simple underfloor heating control

What are my options for a simple electrical switch, controllable by Domoticz, in order to switch on/off an underfloor heating circuit? Constraints: * Current setup is RPi running Domoticz with wifi/bluetooth and RFXCOM for 433Mhz * Lightwave Gen 1 lighting (only mentioning because I have already ...

Intent / URL Scheme

Is there any support in the Android Domoticz app for deep linking/intent/url scheme? I send notifications out via Pushover and would like the links in these to directly open the Domoticz app. A bonus would be supporting links to specific screens such as Switches, Plans, Utilities, etc., or even ...

Re: Script editor

Deep URL Links to HTML frontend or app?

So, as part of my setup, I send notifications to iOS via Pushover, such as when the house enters dormancy mode (based on presence), or other interesting events. These notifications contain a URL, and on iOS you can choose to jump straight to the URL attached to the notification. This would be useful ...

Re: Controlicz - Easy Domoticz to Alexa Integration

Ah ok, so those links I found were about regular skills, not smart home skills? Guess I’ll have to go with a suite of ceiling PIRs to manage presence at individual room level, and decipher from there! :D

Re: Controlicz - Easy Domoticz to Alexa Integration

I'll try to explain with a couple of examples: 1) When I say "Alexa, Night Night", it triggers a routine that triggers a Domoticz switch update (via Controlicz). This switch is effectively a command that triggers a few things via a dzVents script, such as switching all the lights/TVs in the house ...

Did you get anywhere with this? I bought 4 of these DC44s a while back but also can't get them to register. Haven't played with RFXmngr yet though.

Re: Controlicz - Easy Domoticz to Alexa Integration

so this is to do with Routines? I'll do some testing Yes and possibly no... When I look in the Alexa app and examine the Type of each device, I can see the following: Nest shows up as a “Thermostat” Sonos devices show up as “Other” ALL Domoticz devices show up as “Light”, irrespective of whether thy ...

Re: Controlicz - Easy Domoticz to Alexa Integration

@IDANIT I’m experiencing something similar. Lots of dummy state switches which seem to be interpreted as lights in Alexa via Controlicz. In the Alexa app, you have the option to set level OR set on/off in the device view, but under Routines the view is combined and so it always seems to send “set lev ...

Re: Python plugin: Sonos

I had a look both at the node wrapper and the the Soco python class: https://github.com/SoCo/SoCo (I actually copied all the soap messges from there). But for both those solutions the user would be required to install components other than just Domotics and the plugin. In my point of view that ...

Re: Introducing dzVents - Domoticz Lua file based event scripting made e-z!

Firstly, just want to say that dzVents is excellent, and together with the new selector switches in Domoticz, I have just re-written all of my previous logic (spread across Blockly and Lua scripts) into dzVents. In the process of doing this I've managed to make a lot of simplifications, remove a ...
