Re: Logical order to use backup image and sd card size

I use raspibackup running via cron job on my Pi. It will shrink the image down to minimum size and can expand it again on restore to fit whichever size device. https://www.linux-tips-and-tricks.de/en/backup Originally I was writing backups to a second usb stick, but now I save them remotely on my ...

Re: Converting my block to dzVents

Your syntax is a bit off. Try something like this return { on = { devices = { 'Lux' } }, execute = function(domoticz, device) if (device.Lux >= 3701 ) then print("Lux is > 3701") end if ((device.Lux >= 401) and (device.Lux <= 3700 )) then print("Lux is > 401 and < 3700") end if ((device.Lux >= 0 ...

Re: Tado Thermostat plugin

Thanks.

Builds were provided for me.... Just switched to the beta release today and Tado works fine, so definitely a problem with my 'special' build.

Re: Run script every min, but only when a switch is on.

Not sure dzvents does what you’re looking for, but my proposed extension would help. You could have a script that only is triggered by the switch, but then fires off a 1 minute timer to re-trigger itself.

Re: Tado Thermostat plugin

Your Linux installation probably does not have a caching dns resolver installed, so for every request it will have to resolve the my.tado.com domain again (which is cached by your PiHole installation, so in a certain way you do have a dns cache :lol: ). 26,000/day does not seem entirely ...

Re: Tado Thermostat plugin - DNS weirdness

My Tado plugin seems to work OK, but I've noticed something odd. I run my own local DNS server (Pihole) and looking at the logs, my Domoticz server seems to make *huge* amounts of DNS lookups for 'my.tado.com'. In the last 24 hours it appears to have made over 26,000 lookups on that one domain ...

Re: DzVents stopped working [Solved]

I'm now in a situation that editing scripts randomly stop other scripts being triggered. Rolling back the database fixes it, but not being able to change things is a bit of a pain in the ass. I'm not sure if its the actual changes I'm trying to make are in some way breaking dzevents, or if its ...

Re: Edit script on Ipad

People know it doesn’t work. That’s the point of this thread. I was offering a solution in that it appears to be fixed in the upcoming release of iOS 12, for all the people that it might be useful for.

All you did was repeat what we know already, so not a particularly useful contribution.

Failed optimisation... And my Lack of Lua skills

I'm gradually optimising my early dzvents code... I have a bunch of device event scripts that handle motion detected in various places and turn on/off various lights with various delays. I came to the conclusion that 99% of the code is identical apart from the parameters, so I've attempted to ...

Re: DzVents stopped working [Solved]

[/b][/b] @Andyf66, just a thought ; if you got syntax errors and dzVents complained about them all day (to the log) and if your log is on the sd card ? That excessive writing to the log might have caused the sd card to go bad. Again just a thought... Unlikely as it’s runing from an SSD drive via a U ...

Re: Blockly inadequacies - why?

Before I jump into this too deeply, can anybody tell me what is the simplest dev environment to set up, to build Domoticz?

I have access it Mac, Windows, Pi, and pretty much anything else running under Parallels as a VM.

Thanks.
