I tried the variable script, and it doesn't work correctly. When the PIR detects motion and turns on the lamp, Domoticz thinks the lamp was manually turned on and leaves it on continuously. This can be seen in the log screenshot.

One more question: Is a Boolean variable the same as a string ...

Perhaps the error starts with this message
Slimme Meter: Dismiss incoming - value is not delimited in line "1-0:1.8.1(0"
This looks like a malformed P1 telegram. What could be the reason for that?


This error indeed only happened at the time of this crash. No clue what the cause is. It ...

Then check your event scripts (lua/dzvents) as those, when not using asynchronuos external commands can lead into delays.

Or perhaps your server is getting slow due to other applications running on the server.


Dzvents is disabled. I have no lua scripts. Domoticz is the only application on this ...

Going to a network drive can give issues when the network has issues. Better copy the backups from you local disk to the network disk in a separate process if you want them there.... Then if there are network issues Domoticz is not influenced by it.


I tried. This morning I had the same issue on ...

I have been playing around with HA this weekend. I installed it in a Docker container and tried to get the basics up and running. Being a longtime user of Domoticz I had a hard time getting it to work as I wanted. Maybe I should have investigated more but then again... as a longtime Domoticz user ...

How long does it take to create the backup? Just fo a reference, in my production environment it takes 2 seconds for my 30 MB database.

What if you switch the backup off temporary?


normally it's about 9 seconds (probably takes longer than your case cause it's going to a network drive).

This ...

Hi,

i am running on the latest beta in docker on a pi 4. about everymonth i do an update (so also update to latest beta)

Since the last few weeks i have an issue that sometimes domoticz crashed. Pattern is:

It stats with the a slimme meter fault and the the mainworker stopping:

2026-01-11 05:00 ...

I move all my services (including domoticz) to docker. This presents issues like this…

Thanks for your interest in my problem and for explaining "fireplace mode" to me. I don't have a fireplace at home, so I was looking at it differently.

It's gotten very warm for this time of year, and your software works better for me in these conditions. I've recently tried adjusting the heating ...

So you want to set a state with a text?
stat_t":"domesphelper/text/MQTTTemperatureTopic/state"
I still do not understand why you would like to do it this way? Did you look how zigbee2mqtt and zwave deal with this state topics that hold text (like auto, heating, cooling, dry)?


auto/heating ...

The discovery message above is one i’m using, so a good example of a text configuration

I mean what would be the use case to send a text to the device? For a number this normally is a setting, eg range, , polling interval etc These setting devices should not end up as Domoticz devices in your user interface. That is why gizmocuz set it differently than the other MQTT AD devices.

But ...

It works exactly the same as for a number device, this is an example of the discovery message:

{"name":"MQTTTemperatureTopic","unique_id":"domesphelper_MQTTTemperatureTopic","stat_t":"domesphelper/text/MQTTTemperatureTopic/state","cmd_t":"domesphelper/text/MQTTTemperatureTopic/set","availability ...

Hi,

I was just wondering:
- Input sensors of the type number are show in domoticz in configuration of the hardware (meaning, you can see and change them if you go to the hardware page and press settings button on the MQTT AD Hardware line
- Input sensors of the type text are shown are treated as ...

I have a house of approximately 200 m² with 14 rooms. Each room has a thermostat installed on the radiator. The reference room has an indoor temperature sensor that transmits information to the boiler via your software.

I think we're not needing to discuss such details. I'm simply saying that ...

Reference room compensation is Only one way: if the Reference room temp is below the setpoint, the boilertemp is increased. What you describe is exactly how it should work.


I think you have an other problem:

You minimum boiler temp is quite high. I would set it at 10

Also your boilertemp at ...

Please study the documentation first (https://github.com/akamming/esp_domotic ... rm_handler). The answers to your questions are well described:
I've read the documentation. I've been using your boiler control software for three years now, and everything has worked perfectly so far. Thank you so ...

so what is the outside temp which is currently reported to the boiler

On that day, the outdoor temperature was around -5 degrees.

In weather dependent mode, the boiler setpoint is calculated Using the outside temp.
I know this, but the indoor temperature is also taken into account. For ...

What heating mode is used (climate or weather dependent?)
Weather dependent mode

what is the config of the boiler parameters?
Like on the picture


In weather dependent mode, the boiler setpoint is calculated Using the outside temp. so what is the outside temp which is currently reported to ...

The heating season has been underway for a while now, so I tested your firmware and found a problem.

I'll show you what I mean with a screenshot. On the left is the set room temperature, and on the right is the calculated boiler water temperature. Currently, the actual room temperature is 21.7 ...
