Re: Forget API Keys on WU, This is better :)

There is a LUA on the Domoticz site for using a WU feed, which I've been using for years. No need to set up a Node app.

Will be interesting to see what happens for the free API users as I can't see them continuing to support that

Re: Replace old wired room thermostat (UK)

Like many, I want to avoid cloud based services where possible. Not only am I paranoid about my personal data, but I don't want a system that will fail if the WiFi or internet go down. I already have a RFCOMM and a Z-Wave controller connected to my Rpi / Domoticz so I would rather use one of these ...

Replace old wired room thermostat (UK)

I have an ACL dial room thermostat, which is connected via wire to a Honeywell controller for my oil fired boiler. The controller has a very basic timer on it. I'm looking to replace the dial thermostat and then connect that to Domoticz so that I can manage the heating (e.g. home / away / night). I ...

Re: Passing Argument/s to Lua Script

I'm just bouncing this question as I want the same answer. What I'm looking for is a more efficient way of triggering LUA scripts rather than a script_device_<whatever>.lua It seems inefficient running every device script script every time any device state changes. Is there a way to add a LUA to the ...

Good call for ZoneMinder. I'm going to be looking at that, possibly putting in on my OnCloud, but triggering Domoticz.

External CCTV camera recommendations

I'm looking to add my first CCTV camera to my Domoticz system and I'm looking for recommendations. Looking at the WIKI it looks like Domoticz just takes snapshots when triggered. I was hoping to record the camera output. Is it possible to have a CCTV camera that stores the output somewhere (I have ...

Re: PHP/Curl triggered JSON call not working. - SOLVED

Case sensitive it is ;) I do wonder what you want to sent between vps and domoticz tough...

Strip the authentication stuff and disable authentication for 127.0.0.1 under Setup -> settings -> local networks ;) Or have a look at my pass2php script how I handle the json api... My VPS is not on my LAN, it's a cloud based server. I need to keep the authentication. Most of my code is in PHP ...

I am already using Squeezebox/Squeezelite/PiCorePlayer boxes throughout the house and have considered ...

Hi, it seems that the script doesn't like your sentence ! To be sure, just replace this line os.execute ("/usr/bin/tts "..sentence.." &") by this : sentence ="test" os.execute ("/usr/bin/tts "..sentence.." &") If this works, you must have a weird car in the sentence. show us your sentence ...

Re: Lua: Trigger a virtual text sensor

I've just tested this and it is still the case.
If I update my text virtual sensor using JSON it triggers a LUA event.
If I update my text virtual sensor using LUA it doesn't trigger a LUA event.

Is there any chance of fixing this?
